If you are splitting hairs about whether the ball achieved FC status, then that is another issue. But if the ball is not even close and in the air, I say call it every time and twice on Sunday.

Probably a dumb question, but......
To "achieve FC status", doesn't the ball have to touch something in the FC? Otherwise, even on a long pass from BC to FC, wouldn't it still be in the BC as long (however long or short the pass is) as its in the air and until it legally touches something/someone in the FC?
Therefore, if the genius is bringing the ball up the court slowly and suddenly has an "oh sh#!" moment, panics and throws a long pass to the FC, it would still be a violation if its in the air at, say 10, 11, 12 seconds, right?
