Billy, this happened in an NCAA game. And even though the rule is the same for NCAA-M and NCAA-W, Men's side is going with one interpretation and Women's side with the opposite. So it's not about myths. It's about a rule that is not clearly written and has no case play to guide us.

BTW, I'm agree with Nevada and NCAA-W, it should go to spot where the ball was caught since the thrower is not who violated.
