Originally posted by missedthatone cannot believe what I am reading, refs really agree with this rule. I hate this rule, it makes no sense and it makes me look like an ***. Okay, it makes sense in very technical terms but look at this way: someone knocks away the ball into backcourt and you can go retrieve it with impunity, but if it happens to brush your leg as it gets knocked away, this is a backcourt violation. Makes no sense in practice. how can you say that you are just rewarding good defense, no , you are rewarding luck because the ball happened to touch an offense player last.
I have been hoping that they would change this rule for years. I still remember it getting called in the tourney two years ago, Duke-Indiana game and Mike DAvis went nuts
Not sure exactly HOW you want it changed, anyways maybe it's time someone let's you in on the dirty little secret that the rules are not there to REWARD one side or the other. The rules simply say how the game is to be played.

What's that got to do with anything?
Just another dumbass who doesn't know the rule.
And, it's not the first, nor will it be the last time, thatr Mike Davis shows his *** when he's wrong.
