Backcourt/Throw-In Spot

[SNIPERBBB]

NFHS was just following their tradition of messing up every major rule change. The way the wrote the initial press release had many of us thinking the opposite would be the ruling on this BCv play.

I know more about quantum physics than I know about college basketball officiating, but wasn't there a NFHS conflict with the NCAA backcourt (step on but not over the division line) guideline about the inbound location? Wasn't the college throwin spot on the division line?

Yes -- at least for NCAAW

NCAA Men's: the throw is at the division line with a full reset to 30 seconds if the backcourt violation is a result of stepping on the division line.

If the back court violation occurs in the defense's front court, throw-in is at one of the four spots with the shot clock set at 20 seconds.


You cannot just say "college/NCAA rules". The Men's side and the Women's side have different rule sets.

As I stated, I know more about quantum physics than I know about college basketball officiating, and that isn't very much.

Note: The only reason I know about Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle is because in the television show Breaking Bad, Walter White (Bryan Cranston) chooses the name Heisenberg as his drug-world moniker. As a chemist, he would be well aware of the famous physicist Werner Heisenberg, the founder of the principle. As someone with two-plus college degrees in science, thirty years as a science teacher, and thirteen years as a chemist, physics is the area of science that I'm weakest in. As far as I'm concerned, a "physic" is something one takes to prevent constipation.
