Driving to the Basket

[Kelvin green]

In the board's longest post of the year there was a play that talked about a hand-check going to the basket... I dont want to rehash the play but what I want to emphasisze is that we have to know where the ball is...

High school officials are all too eager to call it "on the floor".
This is one pet peeve of mine and it drives me nuts, The kid has the ball, picked it up going to the basket, gets fouled, takes a step, and then we have it on the floor.

I hear all the time that "there is no continuation" in HS or "this isnt the NBA" ...yet the NBA rule on continuation and the NFHS rule on continuous motion very similar.

Once the kid picks up the ball they can pass or shoot, we have to know what they are doing and what they did...

Just thought I would start some more controversy. The World Series did not offer much!
