North CarolinaHSAA and the "Blarge".
I belong to a number of FaceBook basketball officials group, and a member in one of the groups posted a screen shot of North CarolinaHSAA's 2017-18 Basketball Rules PowerPoint presentation on the "Blage". And the North CarolinaHSAA's interpretation is incorrect. In fact, it is in direct contradiction of a Play that is in the NFHS's 2017-18 Basketball Rules Casebook. If fact it is a CB Play that has been around for a very long time.
NFHS Casebook Play 4.19.8 Situation C: A1 drives for a try and jumps and releases the ball. Contact occurs between A1 and B1 after the release and before airborne shooter A1 returns one foot to the floor. One official rules a blocking foul on B1 and the other official rules a charging foul on A1. The try is (a) successful, or (b) not successful. RULING: Even though airborne shooter A1 committed a charging foul, it is not a player-control foul because the two fouls result in a double personal foul. The double foul does not cause the ball to become dead on the try. In (a), the goal is scored; play is resumed at the point of interruption, which is a throw-in for Team B from anywhere along the end line. In (b), the point of interruption is a try in flight; therefore the alternating- possession procedure is used. The North CarolinaHSAA's interpretation states that in (a) that the goal is not scored which is in direct contradiction of the NFHS Ruling. Tony, I hope you read this because I know how much you enjoy showing your State Interpreter the error of his ways. MTD, Sr. |
Are there any North Carolina officials that have any opinions?
