I reviewed many of the comments when I completed this activity. Plenty of them believed W2 landed out of bounds before releasing the ball, which had to have contributed to the 26%. Some number definitely, and very much incorrectly, considered the pass itself as out of bounds.

Agree. Maybe I over-reacted.

IAABO worded the video poorly. As I discussed earlier with JRutledge, Is this an out of bounds violation? and This is a violation, were not worded in a way to investigate the legality of what IAABO wanted examined, a pass going behind the backboard (or a pass going over the plane of the endline).

The additional wording The ball passes behind the backboard on this cross-court pass. Is that considered out of bounds? was easier to understand (and tell the viewers what needed be examined).
