Question for the real long timers

Has it ever been a violation in NFHS rules for a shooter to rebound his own airball?

I played HS ball in the sixties and I don't recall there being a violation for that. I know I had my share of air-balls but then again, I wasn't quick enough to be the first to recover any of them.

I remember as a player the ball had to hit the rim for the shooter to rebound without the ball hitting the floor. Could have been local rule though.

I was in high school in the mid to late 70's. I don't know what the rule was, but that was one of those things:

"EVERYBODY knows you can't do that."

Of course, while it may have been called like that in some areas and I've seen it called like that in games I've watched and by partners in games I've worked, it has never been the rule in NFHS. It is also not the rule in NCAA. It is, however, the rule in the NBA. And that is where the confusion comes from.

^^^^ Seen it called in middle school games recently just as I saw it called in middle school games back when I played. Refereeing by myth/watching TV rather than by rule . . . the NBA rule also seems to be the preferred pick up game rule, enhancing the "everybody knows" problem . . .

I've had a partner call it from trail on a layup right in front of me in a JV girls game.

We had a quick chat, but I wouldn't say I overruled him.

I'm sure you provided him with the rules and let him judge what he wanted to do with the information you provided.

My 46th year and I can't remember it being a violation even though everybody at the gym thought so. I don't hear those fan protests near as much anymore on that particular play.

I'm always afraid of a similar thing occurring. If coach rightfully complains, what kind of justification can you use? From a coaches POV, I would think they might almost clammer for an inadvertent whistle and proper administration from there. Thoughts?

He asked for an explanation. Since it looked bad, I just told him we discussed it and realized it's not a violation. He accepted the explanation.

I took the heat and made the explanation since I was the one who stepped in it.
