what would you do if B1 deflects the ball backcourt, it rolls to a stop and no one goes and picks it up (or touches it). Would you let the ball lay there indefintely? Let the entire quarter run out? It's in team control in the backcourt
Mr. King,
After looking at all the scenarios and all the explanations, I do agree with you and Mr. Roberts, but the above is not a good scenario to explain team control. The reason I say this is because you could have a ball deflected by an opponent and it could lay to rest in the frontcourt. At that point, if no one touches it, the team still has control, but at the same time a quarter could virtually run out. I'm not saying that it would, but still. Just trying to make argument. I just think a better explanation of team control (besides the obvious rules already stated) would help others understand.
OVERALL A VERY GOOD DISCUSSION.
