NFHS Rule Change Regarding Goaltending ...

If they want it to be completely above the rim, let's just forget the rule exists.

To be fair, the rule for GT has two different parts. One is if the ball does not touch the backboard, and one is when it does. There is nothing in the current rule that they just posted that says anything about how much the ball is above the rim. It does not even say being above the rim is a requirement. It only states that if it touches the backboard and has a chance to go in, that is enough to be GT if touched by the opponent.

That's the way I read the rule.appears iaabo send to think NFHS doesn't mean it that way . We'll see if this interp comes out.

We'll have to await the upcoming NFHS interpretation.

Alleged interp. NFHS still hasn't published the case book.

Do you not believe IAABO?

Or do you not believe the NFHS?

Or have they joined together in a conspiracy?

They tell us that they're going to release the Epstein client list, sorry, I mean the interpretation, that it's right on their desk, and then they don't follow through on their pledge to release it.

Liars. IAABO. NFHS. The whole bunch of 'em are all damn liars.

I don't do projections. When the casebook or this hypothetical interp gets released, I'll go with it. Until then...
