Adam,
JR just cited the A.R. which defines it for you. Your understanding is not correct per the rules.
The NCAA put something out a few years ago that said what bigwhistle wrote in post #6 (A1 to A2 to A3), but I can't recall where that was written--perhaps in an A.R., perhaps it was a bulletin.
Anyway bigwhistle's OP is completely correct. This rule is being completely ignored to the point of why even have it. I've seen numerous examples of it being broken, including a play in the NCAA tournament last year by UCLA.
Hank Nichols needs to take a look at this and provide clear direction or scrap the rule.
