NFHS Rules
6-4 Art 7: Neither jumper shall:
A: touch the tossed ball before it reaches its highest point
B: leave the center circle before restraining circle until the ball has been touched
C: Catch the ball before the jump ends
D: Touch the ball more than twice
We are okay with A and D here obviously, and I think B too if it is referring to entire circle, and not the jumpers half of the circle.
So white violates here because he catches the ball before the jump ends (jump ends when is it touched by one of eight nonjumpers, an official, the floor, or basket)
So - if white player had let the ball bounce first, this would have been a perfectly legal play? Very interesting.
Not sure on the NCAA Ruling here.
