Rules Not In the Book

[BktBallRef]

The rules are in the book, you simply have to bring the proper references together to make a determination.

In the BC play, allowance is given to the airborne player that allows him to land. It does not allow him to pass the ball to someone in the BC. Why? How do we know he would have landed in the BC? When he catches the ball, he has FC status. That's why it's a violation.

As for the disconcertion situation, again, apply the definition and the penalty as well as the rule. The penalty says, "... disconcertion by an opponent...," not player. The fact that it doesn't say player means that it's the entire opposing team, not just the 5 players on the floor.

IOW, the rules are in the book. The interpretation arises from being able to know all the rules that apply to a particular situation.
