Rule 6-7-9 Your thoughts

[Jim Dixon]

Just a quick comment for those of you who are really reading the rules reviews. I was looking very closely at case book play 9.12B, and one of its references. It cited 6-7-9, which you will see later this week in Thursday’s update is not applicable. Then I looked more closely and began to wonder why 9-1 and 9-12 were not included.

Look at this one, and see if you can determine why it does not state, “A violation, as in 9-2 through 12, occurs.” I realize that the ball sometimes does not become dead on a violation that occurs during a free throw, so 9-1 does not apply. What about goaltending (9-12)? Let’s generate some comments or opinions. You can also directly email me.
