In the OP (and based on subsequent posts) the ball *may not* have been in the FC when it was deflected -- so, based on this (and my subsequent reading of the rule), it may still have been a BC violation (depending, perhaps, on the loss of control / dribble issue).

In any event, if it takes all this to decide, then the official was correct -- no matter what the zapruder film shows.

As Bob said, ball was deflected while defender in BC and ball in BC. Rule change irrelevant as ball never had FC status until offensive player touched it. Really need that video.

Bumping to see if Jeff can find the play.

Perfect, can't wait to hear from everybody. Very close but I am going with BC violation. Offensive player, not dribbling, has 2 feet in his FC, reaches and touches ball (giving ball FC status), and ball lands in BC where same player is first to touch it.

What is your point? There is no requirement of dribbling in the FC for a BC violation.

If you have an interrupted dribble and you never established the ball in the FC, it can matter in this situation.

Now the question does him not dribbling in the FC matter in this specific play. I think there is a case to be made that this could be a violation if you feel the play was with a FC player making the ball touch the BC. But I think that is a stretch. The defender tipped the ball away which allows for no longer have a cheap violation.

I understand if ball was never established in the FC but in the play, the ball was established in the FC.

When the defender tips the ball away, it does not matter what status the ball has from my understanding. The point is to give the offense some leeway to get the ball. I think the rules are not as clear, but the point of the new rule was not to allow a "cheap" violation if the defense made a play on the ball. That clearly took place here.

Defender hit the ball while it was in the BC. As far as defense tipping ball, defender tip was irrelevant for rule as offense still had two feet in FC and touched ball giving ball FC status. Then he was first to touch it in BC.

Gonna have to just agree to disagree on this thread.
