Thats the whole problem here. It is a weird play and very strange. What I was saying is, I BELIEVE it is sometype of violation, but I am not totally sure what kind. I think some of us need to understand that officiating the game of basketball is not always black and white and there are surely some gray areas involved, as we have discussed and hashed on this board. This is surely one of them. And to answer your question, no I don't teach this kind of stuff at camp and was very offended by that response. I teach the fundamentals of 3 person mechanics, game management, floor positioning, floor coverage, how break down tape, and so forth. I don't profess to be an expert on the weird and dicey plays that may or may not be covered under the rules of play. That is exactly why we post plays like this, is to get discussion on them. Why would I post a play that is obvious to all? That would be a waste of time. Example: player catches the ball and takes 4 steps towards the basket. What would you call? This is a black and white and not gray area type of play.
This play was sent to me via email and I thought I would post to generate some good discussion. I don't know if there is a right or wrong answer on it. Thats why I haven't responded to other peoples answers on it.
Have a good day.
