Ok, but what if there was no other teammate anywhere on that half of the court? Similar to a play that you proposed earlier in this thread.
My point is that officiating of plays cannot be reduced to writing in a book. A living person must observe the action on the court and use quality judgment to make whatever decision is appropriate for the given situation. That is the art of officiating.
