You're right. It was briefly relevant, then it wasn't.
Dribbler approaching the division line. The dribble turned into an interrupted dribble as he crossed the line while the ball remained in the BC. He then turns around, with one foot in the FC and the other in the air, and reaches for the ball. Half a second before he catches the ball, his other foot sets down in the BC, giving him BC status. Had he caught the ball before that foot touched down in the BC, it would have been a violation as soon as it touched.
Even if the dribble wasn't interrupted, the ruling would have been the same.
So yeah, it was close to being relevant.
My only issue was he went on and on about the three points rule, but this could have easily been a violation even though the ball never touched down in the FC.
My experience is about half the fans know about 3 points, and most of the coaches. The problem is the ones that know about it don't understand when it applies and when it doesn't.
