As usual, right there under my nose... or was my thumb covering that part of the page...
Anyway, somebody want to indulge in some Age of Reason thinking and give this a shot:
Just for grins, what is the
reasoning in creating a rule that defines a pass attempt as a different type of ball release rather than a shot attempt?
It seems to me that "deliberately releasing the ball" is "deliberately releasing the ball", regardless if it goes toward the basket or towards another player?
And by deliberate, I mean not to be confused with an "attempt at possession" (fumble), which is not a "deliberate release of the ball"... or is it?
"Because the Rules Book says so, Coach," seems such a cop-out.
Thanks !
