Nope.
I don’t have a Facebook account and whatever discussion you wished to post is hidden from view unless a person joins your private group.

Same. We might be the only two left.

I'll try to describe it...Team A has the ball in their FC. B1 knocks the ball away from A1 in a steal attempt. Makes a couple bats attempting to gain control. However A2, who is standing on the division line with one foot and the other in the FC, catches the ball.

That’s not a violation.
A2 is the first to touch the ball in the backcourt, but he/she or a teammate was not the last to touch it in the frontcourt. That was B2.

This scenario has the same facts as that old interp #10 which we used to disparage and it finally got overturned with a rule clarification about two seasons ago.

Not me. My son tells me to stay off of Facebook and Twitter because everybody there is mean and nasty and would "eat me alive" (his words).

Not like the Forum where everyone is professional, polite, and well mannered.

And I get dozens of Christmas cards and birthday cards from Forum member friends every year.

Mark T. DeNucci, Sr. sends me a Christmas fruitcake every year (I think that it's re-gifted).

Why would I go anyplace else?

Agree, and despite that interp, it was never a violation by rule. The interp contradicted the rule and was never right. They called it a rule "change" when they fixed it but in reality, it was a retraction of an erroneous interp.

Next Game ...

It was a lot easier for me back in the 1970's, playing half court basketball on an asphalt court with metal chain nets and where the "division line" was simply out of bounds.
