For 8 it gets weird, in that rule 1) says Not allowed anytime. Further goes on to say the defense picks up the offense at the half line. But Rule 2) says Full Court Press is allowed if you are behind by 10 pts or more. They seems to be in conflict. Unless like I was theorizing, they intend FCP to imply on inbounds only, and backcourt the rest of the time.
Oh, and of course there is nothing in the rules defining the terms. That would be too easy!

My guess is that it wasn't well written, and that any backcourt defense is allowed when a team is 10 points behind. But you'd better check with others in your league. Although if your team is good enough that you'll never be 10 points or more behind, it won't matter, will it?

Uh, Jewel,
What about being 12 points ahead?
