#1 - Most popular response: OFFICIAL DID NOT HAVE A BACKCOURT TEN SECOND COUNT.
#2 - Second most popular response: DRIBBLING VIOLATION (ala Casebook 4.15...) BY REBOUNDER FOR REPEATED CONTACT WITH OPPONENTS' BACKBOARD.
#3 - Then this response trumped them all. (And I don't think it was mentioned in this thread, was it?): VIOLATION BY NON-LANE PLAYER WHO CROSSED THE THREE-POINT ARC BEFORE THE FREE THROW MADE CONTACT WITH THE BASKET OR BACKBOARD, WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN CALLED A DELAYED VIOLATION, RESULTING IN A SUBSTITUTE FREE THROW.
Turns out that original violater was the hapless rebounder.
#3 violation, if properly called, would have made officiating errors #2 and #1 irrelevant.
How could I have missed that??????????

#1 Yes, actually an eight second backcourt count since it's FIBA basketball.
#2 No, not in my opinion, see my previous post(s).
#3 Absolutely right, very well spotted.
PS: calm down on the caps
