I dislike the result, but APG is exactly right. The NFHS rules committee screwed up this rule change about team control and all the accompanying changes. But what we've been told is that ALL the changes regarding control are designed to have only one result: making a common foul by a member of the throw-in team a
team control foul until player control is established inbounds. That's it.
Every other play -- ALL backcourt plays, ALL counts -- are to be ruled EXACTLY as they were last year.
So even though those changes actually produced more than that one result, we've been told (in my state) to officiate according the intentions of the rules committee, rather than by the actual written rule. I
hate that, but that's what we're doing.
