no right answer

Would it be a copout to take the position that there is no correct answer to this question? This appears to me to be a glitch that can have a persuasive argument for either side. This will require an expansion of 9-3-2 in the future to address this specific tiny part of the possible application of this rule. (the above mentioned expansion also keeps alive the requirement that officials buy a new rulebook each year) In the meantime my scale tips overwhelmingly to the side that when a no-call might be as good as a call, the no-call is the way to go. Combine this with the fact that many people, coaches included, did not know about this rule in the first place, and the fact that I have never seen such a screen on a made basket out of bounds play, I don't see myself ever making the call. That is my opinion. Please, nobody egg my house.
