the quote is from the casebook example -10.3.4SitB(a)

Hey - where's that quote from again? I can't seem to find it anywhere...

This damn site keeps returning server errors and posts the thread anyway.

Re: nice
 

The dunking/stuffing reference gives a pass, so to speak, for BI of the hand-on-the-ball-while-in-the-cylinder type. Therefore, grasping the rim is not protected.


To look at this from another angle, let's assume that the dunk doesn't end when the ball bounces up off the rim (it does, IMO). In this case, the grabbing of the rim has nothing to do with the dunk. The majority of dunks are made without significant rim grabbing/touching. Since the grabbing of the rim is unrelated to the dunk, the grabbing is what we penalize as BI.

I'm afraid that you're incorrect. The the definition of dunking. When the ball doesn't go through the basket but itinstead, goes up in the air, it's no longer a dunk and A1 can no longer touch the ball or the ring and basket after the ball enters the basket.

Consider this play:

A1 attemtps to dunk the ball and is fouled in the act of shooting. The dunk misses and bounces in the air within the imaginary cyliner. Meanwhile, A1 is hanging on the rim to protect himself. While hanging by one hand, he slams the ball home with his other hand. Is this BI?



BTW, I sincerely wish you would consider changing your username. It would certainly make it less confusing. You've only just arrived and it would be very easy to change your name to something more unique. I would appreciate it.

Dan, I'm saying two things
#1 the Lead doesn't usually call basket interference. It is usually called by the Trail or Center.

#2 On a single shot attempt during this game there were two instances of basket interference. The first by the defense (dead ball, count the basket) which caused a second BI by the offense (dead ball, don't count the basket).

The lead official saw and enforced the second BI (no basket).

perhaps people would like to check rule 9-11 Exception:
"If a player has his/her (PC:)) hand legally in contact with the ball, it is not a violation if such contact with the ball continues after it enters a basket cylinder or if in such action, the player touches the basket. Dunking or stuffing is legal and is not basket interference."

OK, I take it back. I did have some idea, and that idea was everything you just said here. :)

What was the play that resulted in 2 BIs? Go slowly, I'm not as smart as I look. ;)

[/B][/QUOTE]Tony, l'il bbref mentioned that cite about 6 hours ago. Not applicable on a missed dunk. If it was applicable, then case book play 10.3.4SitB(a) wouldn't exist because it's completely contradictory to what you people are trying to read into that exception.The language in that case book play couldn't be clearer.

Re: Re: Re: BYU vs. NM
 

But there's no rule that allows him to lose contact of the ball and then touch it once again within the cylinder, ring or basket. Read what you posted. In this play, "contact with the ball" does NOT continue. He loses contact and then touches the ball again.

Given your interpretation, A1 could attempt to dunk, have the ball bounce high into the air, return to the floor, and then go back up and jam the ball as it sat on the rim.

Just like the original post, and my previous example, all three are BI.

Re: Re: nice
 

Mark - I had this situation last summer, before the new casebook interpretation came out, and I ruled, rightly I thinkat the time, since there was no case law, that it was not BI. I followed the play and interpreted it on the spot. A missed shot. A player leaps for the rebound, grabs it, attempts to dunk it. The ball is rejected by the cylinder, bounces straight up high over the basket. The dunker grabs the rim to stop his own momentum, and, in traffic, looks down to be sure there's a place to come down, before releasing the rim. While he's doing that, the ball falls through the basket.

I don't think you can penalize any rim-grabber who is 'legitimately' concerned for his own or another player's safety.

Tony - I would agree with your further example . . .

Hey BktBallRef,

Due to your tactful post and civil request I will have no problem changing my handle here. This will be my last post with this username. The confusion and coincidence was totally unintentional. Please accept my apologies and I will from this point be 'footlocker'.

(I'm not an official because of my creativity)

And for the record, I am convinced. I will make the call BI when and if this situation arises. Thanks

It appears that everything is working fine.:D
