In this case I will do as told until told differently by someone else with authority. |
Sorry, I meant to add, "When in Rome." I understood you were passing on your instructions. I was just wondering about the ramifications of their ruling; also about the loose ball issue in particular.
If FIBA has a loose ball provision, the ruling would make more sense. If not, then any IW without "player control" (rather than just "team control") would result in AP since you really don't know what would have happened.
I understand what you're saying and would never encourage you to depart from your instructions on this.
