Evidently they disagree on this one. As was stated above:
If A1 catches the ball, NF rule interpretation is that control was established, and then the violation. NF Case 6.3.1C(d)
Same play, NCAA interpretation is that the violation occurred before the possession.
NCAA Interpretation 6.2.5
My question is, if it's a violation for the jumper to possess the ball, then how can the violation occur prior to the possession?
That's a contradiction.
The violation isn't in the possession of the ball, it's the touching of the ball with two hands. Everyone can argue what came first the chicken or the egg.
There are other situations where the jumper commits a violation, before gaining possession.(tipping a legal throwen jump ball more than twice.) What would you do in this situation.?
keep similing
