This situation has happned three times in a league I officiate on Sunday evening.
Can a defender legally touch a ball that has hit the backboard and is still on it's upward flight and is not in or or the ring?
Follow-up can he pin or trap any ball on the backboard under those same conditions. My search for definitive rule book or casebook has been fruitless.
Question two.
On a throw-in. Is it a violation for the ball to hit the bottom of the backboard? My search in rule and casebook tell me that it can hit the front or side of the backboard and be ok but it doesn't specifically state the bottom.
