RnR, the only place your statement is true is in the NBA. If that's what you intended, then fine. But if you are talking about a high school or college game, I'm afraid you are simply wrong. My citation above is directly from the NFHS rulebook. I don't think it can get any clearer than that.
In fact, now that I think about it, the first sentence of your post is false, even in the NBA.
