Splitting hairs on when she controlled it. When it takes me a few times looking at replay to figure out where she was when she caught ball I'm not going to call it... |

While I agree that this is a violation, I would be highly in favor or a rule change (and I've mentioned it before) allowing a player who established team control while in the air to land in the backcourt without penalty. There are many ways it could be done and it would be consistent with the existing exceptions.

I agree, I'd like to see it changed to include any situation where the player catching the ball establishes initial team control in the air.

Loosely applied: 9-9-3 . . . while on defense, a player may legally jump from his/her frontcourt, secure control of the ball with both feet off the floor and return to the floor with one or both feet in the backcourt.
Thus, no violation - remember, "loosely applied."

I agree, and that's why I mentioned that in the play in question, which is clearly after the jumpball had ended, a loose interpretation allows a no-call - as the player in black didn't appear to have control of the ball, which would have allowed an official to consider the player in white to be "on defense."

I would simply say it was so close that i can't be sure and if i can't be sure I'm not going to call it. p.s. (The offense is defined in the rules fundamentals as the team in control of the ball.) |

I'm always trying to be ready to answer a coach's question regarding a call. So, in this case, what would be the response to a coach who asked about this call?

1. Yep, but didn't process it until too late. or 2. Not sure, may have been…. Tell him the truth. It would be a mistake imo to try and tell him about control and offense and defense etc. |
