I understand the rule.

I realize it takes team control not player control for 3-secondss. My statement "no one had control could be said legitimately before.....

Example, Team A has control of the ball, A drives the line and the ball is hit by B or is just lost. Both A and B scramble for the ball in the lane. No possession by anyone.

Old rule you could always say "no one has control coach". By the rule book you would be correct. This is an interruprted dribble, and contrary to what has been said I see this alot. A player loosing possession in the lane...

Now with the new rule, team A is still in control of the ball, so per the rule if the ball is being batted around after the above occurance in the lane. It would be 3-seconds on team A.

Am I calling it no, are some going to call it probably. To me they just messed with something that was already fine.

But what else is new........
