Because 90% of the time this situation occurs in conjunction with intentional and technical fouls, newer officials (and fans) tend to associate this rule/action exclusively with those infractions. But this is not the case. Before, it could also happen on free throws with 0.0 on the clock, or perhaps when you have a common foul on the front-end of a 1-and-1 (to name a few examples). This new rule and administration is simply an extension of a concept that is not new.

Thanx. As mentioned previously, that's how I taught it last night, with a review of 8-1-3 first, then the 9-1-3h violation with a foul. What I'm looking for, however, is a nice little formula-like way to say it that's easy for officials to remember for sure recall when needed. Again, something like our "Four Conditions for a Backcourt Violation." Think "formula", come up with something, and let me know what you've settled on.
Thanx again.
