Guess Tony won't call me a plumber anymore if I blow a whistle on one of those leaving the court plays. ;)

Ok, but what if the defense does this???

I am sure that the casebook will have some plays to justify this call. I do not think they spirit of the rule will apply to every possible situation. The NCAA that used this rule last year for the first time used a very specific situation that this would be used as their example. Some would like to say that it applied to more situations than what was widely discussed. I know it will be one of the first questions I ask of the rules interpreter at the rules meetings in the fall.

Dittos! I was hoping to hear your insight again JRut, as I recall us having this discussion not to long ago. :)

In the college meetings I attended, we were told to not call a violation for just a simple touching the boundary line or issues of momentum. We were told to basically consider this just at the NF used it for a Technical foul this past year. So if a player avoided a screen, or just went out of bounds to become undetected then it would be a violation. If you have a loose ball and a player simply touched the out of bounds line and then reestablished themselves in bounds and was the first to touch the ball, that was not how the rule was not suppose to be applied in our discussions in my conferences. Some have disagreed with that, but I never saw any discussions that suggested that was the proper application of the rule. Maybe the NF will clarify in more detail. The NCAA sure did not do that.

Peace

The addition of Rule 4-19-7 and revision of Rule 7-5-5 establishes the definition of a team-control foul and now makes the penalty consistent with a player-control foul.

I like the changes. They look good, but help me out here. Am I missing the definition of a team control foul?

This is an adoption of the NCAA rule. Any foul committed by the team in control and the team that has the throw-in, the foul will be considered a team control foul. Which basically means all fouls by the team in control will not have FTs shoot if the team is in the bonus. I am sure they will take the exact same language and transfer it over to the NF code.

Peace

Finally! I've been hoping for this one for years! Any idea how they'll handle fouls by the offense during a throw-in?

Ok, but I'd also like to see the POI adopted for a single T.

So is the point of team control to speed up the game?

Not me. There's no reason to lessen the penalty for a technical foul.

Yes and to make the rules consistent across the board. If you read the article put out by the NF, this helps to make it easier so an official does not have to decide if a foul was a player control foul or just a common foul. Now we do not have to make sure we have the shooter after an illegal screen foul is called.

Peace

One reason is that you might just see more of them called.

Whoops! Missed that one.

I never seen a defender do it but have seen the offense do it several times.

If there is a screen where the best path to get around is OOB, that suggest that the player they're trying to keep up with also went OOB. Otherwise, we're likely to have a block on the screener. If the player they're guarding when on the inbounds side of the screen, then going OOB is probably a disadvantage.


BTW, I think ALL of these are good changes. No senseless tinkering.

I will agree with you there that 99% of the time the offense is the one going to be doing it. But as I've said before, I hope they clairfy with a case book sitution or explain in detail at the rules interp.
