over & back

[jimm]

Thanks for the replies. I am still like 99.999% sure it was legal, at least back in the 70's, in Iowa high school ball. It came up a number of times when I was playing, during some critical situations, and, our coach had us practice doing just that if ever trapped in the corner so it is ingrained in my memory... but hey, maybe my crystal clear memories aren't as real as I think.

It was before dunking, the 3 point arc, jump balls were jumped, etc.

It was also Iowa, so maybe it was just an Iowa thing (they did also have girls basketball at that time where no one was ever allowed to cross midcourt... they could only play defense or offense).

Anyway... you all probably don't care, it's ancient history. I'm now feeling very old........
