Wrong, Unnoticed For At Least Twenty Years ...
Quote:
Wow! I unsuccessfully tried to find when the "sideline at the free-throw line extended" after balls illegally entering the basket changed to the present rule (closest spot of violation) with no success. Couldn't find it in the the NFHS Basketball Handbook, and my oldest rulebook only goes back to 1996-97 (I wish that I had kept my first fifteen rulebooks). (Hey Mark T. DeNucci, Sr., how about a little help here?) That means that 2016-17 9.12 SITUATION B "throw-in on the sideline at the free-throw line extended" was wrong, and went unnoticed for at least twenty years, that's at least two decades. Wow! Stupid NFHS. They must have really great water in the NFHS office water cooler. Or maybe they have really great snacks the office vending machine? Coffee in the break room? |

For anybody's information, "a player touches the ball outside the cylinder during a free-throw attempt" was added to the definition of goaltending in 1981 when the top song was "Bette Davis Eyes" by Kim Carnes.
