Everyone knows the rules as written are not clear. This has been discussed ad nauseam.

But the NFHS has made it crystal clear that team control during a throw-in (and the period between the end of the throw-in and a player gaining control) is ONLY for foul purposes. You CANNOT have a violation for backcourt, 3 seconds, 10 seconds, etc. until PLAYER CONTROL has been established inbounds, thus creating true team control.

This situation has also been an official interpretation multiple times.

There is no front court or back court status when the ball is out of bounds for a throw-in. There is no front court or back court status until there is player control established inbounds.

That's why in high school basketball you cannot start a 10-second backcourt count when a throw-in pass is deflected into the backcourt until somebody gains player control.

The Throwin Ended ...
 

Situation B: Correct. Pick a prize from the top shelf.

4-42-5-A: The throw-in ends when: The passed ball touches or is touched by another player inbounds.

9-9-3: During a throw-in 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. The player may make a normal landing and it makes no difference whether the first foot down is in the frontcourt or backcourt.

True Team Control ...
 

Nice. Too bad the NFHS doesn't add this to Rule 4 Definitions.

We all know that an ugly caterpillar will one day become a beautiful butterfly.

Maybe an ugly Point of Emphasis will one day become a beautiful rule?

it would be if I didn't have to wait 30 seconds between searches.

Do we have a video of the new BC exception play? (ie the catching of the ball by a player int he back court)

Team control during throw in is for foul purposes only. Search the forum. We have been over this 8,000,000,000,000 times. It’s all been explained previously.

It's Possible ...
 

Be careful, we could break the internet.

Too bad all basketball officials, and the NFHS rules editor, don't read the Forum.

You don't....if you use google.

In the google search bar, add site:forum.officiating.com along with whatever other search terms you want and it will search this forum only. You don't have to wait.
