Backcourt Backboard ...
Is a backcourt pass that hits the opponent's basket ring treated the same as a backcourt pass that hits the opponent's backboard?
Happened last night but luckily a second player got the deflected ball, not the passer, but the play still came up in a post game discussion. Casebook talks about a ball striking the opponent's backboard being treated the same as if the ball touched the floor (possible illegal double dribble), but the casebook doesn't talk about basket rings. Purpose and intent? Is the net part of the basket for this purpose? |
Backboard ...
4.15.1 SITUATION C: A1 attempts a pass to A2 during pressing action in A’s backcourt. The ball hits B’s backboard and deflects directly back to A1 who catches the ball and: (a) passes the ball to A2; or (b) starts a dribble. RULING: The pass against B’s backboard was the start of a dribble which ended when A1 caught the ball. In (a), the pass is legal action. In (b), it is a violation for a second dribble. (4-4-5; 9-5)
4.15.4 SITUATION C: After dribbling and coming to a stop, A1 throws the ball: (a) against the opponent’s backboard and catches the rebound; (b) against an official, immediately recovers the ball and dribbles again; or (c) against his/her own backboard in an attempt to score (try), catches the rebound and dribbles again. RULING: A1 has violated in both (a) and (b). Throwing the ball against the opponent’s backboard or an official constitutes another dribble, provided A1 is first to touch the ball after it strikes the official or the board. In (c), the action is legal. Once the ball is released on the try, there is no player or team control, therefore, A1 can recover the rebound and begin a dribble. |

Frontcourt Ring ...
Quote:
Good memory. Last time my question was based on an IAABO Refresher Exam question where a pass from a team's backcourt directly hits the ring in the team's frontcourt and deflects back to the same team in the backcourt. Backcourt violation? NFHS now says that any thrown ball that hits the team's "backboard" (obviously in the frontcourt) is considered a "try" and ends team control, even if it's clearly a pass, thus no backcourt violation. But the question stated team's "ring". In such situations (my old frontcourt question and my new backcourt question) are backboard and basket (ring, flange, net) interchangeable? How about just backboard, ring, and flange (not net)? Or is it just backboard? I see backcourt cross court passes touch the net once, or twice, every season. Usually don't think twice about it, ball always keeps going to the intended pass recipient. But someday it won't. It's not a unicorn. |
The Caseplay States "Backboard" ...
To paraphrase Sigmund Freud, "Sometimes a backboard is just a backboard and only a backboard".
