Endline. They're allowed to run the endline. This, by itself, is not that big a deal. But it's one more in a very long line of examples that show the rules-ignorance of the members of the Rules Committee. We get rules references with dots instead of dashes; we have case plays that blatantly contradict the rule cited; and we get terms that don't correspond to their actual definition. The baseline is on the
backboard, not on the playing court. But nobody reads Rule 1, including the Rules Committee, apparently.
Now get off my lawn!
Holy crap, I've turned into Jurassic!
