(1)My question is does 10-3-4 cover grasping and pulling on the net or just the rim? I know I've only seen it called (as I'm sure is the case with almost all of us) when A1 dunks and pulls down on the rim in a showboating type manner.

(2) But let me take this one step further--let's say the BI occurs to TIE the game--could one foreseeably call the BI and the T?
(3) Say A1 goes for a layup, B1 slaps the backboard, wiping out the shot and getting a T assessed. Would the same scenerio happen here? Wipe out the shot and assess the T instead?
[/B][/QUOTE]Rule 10-3-4 sez it's a T to grasp the basket. The net and the rim are both part of the basket, as per FED rule 1-10-1. Grabbing either without doing so to prevent an injury is a T.

(2) Yes, you can call both BI and a T on the same play.See the language in case book play 9.11.4.

(3) Whoa. You got this one completely wrong from the git-go. Slapping the backboard NEVER wipes out a shot. And it's not a T to slap the backboard if you rule that the player did so while legitimately attempting to block a shot.
