>>Nowitski's right hand is clearly in Wade's back as he is releasing the ball.<<

Dude, don't make stuff up. Dirk's hand is a foot or more away from Wade BEFORE Wade released the ball.

AS HE'S RELEASING THE BALL, not AFTER HE'S RELEASED THE BALL. The contact has already occurred at this point and the ball is already out of his hand, Aggie. Nice try though!



ESPN idiots Tim Legler and Greg Anthony are explaining on SportsCenter how the throw-in was a BC violation that should have been called. Idiots.

how wasn't it a backcourt violation? not saying i don't believe you, I think it wasn't a violation, but where does it clearly state it in the rulebook? I really want to know to shutup annoying Dallas fans .

Geeze, didn't you read the start of this thread?

Go back to the first page about 8:30am this morning. Not only was the NBA rule cited, it was spelled out by Chuck Elias at 9:02am. It's NBA rule VIg. Couldn't be clearer.

Lah me.....

wait were you talking about this:
g. Frontcourt/backcourt status is not attained until a player with the ball has established a positive position in either half during (1) a jump ball, (2) a steal by a defensive player, or (3) a throw-in in the last two minutes of the fourth period and/or any overtime period.

does that mean that your status, with the ball, if your in the air, is only attained once youve hit the ground and that it doesnt matter where you were without the ball?

YES!

The rule with regards to leaping from the FC, catching the ball and landing inthe BC is the same at HS, collegiate and professional levels. It's legal.

We've explained it and also cited the rule word-for-word. If they're still confused, then they're gonna have to stay confused.

All anyone has to do is read the first page of this thread. If they can't understand it, they can't be helped.

They aren't confused. They just refuse to believe that the play was correctly ruled on.

I don't know how to make it any simplier, DPR.

On a throw-in, a player can jump from his frontcourt, catch the ball and land in his backcourt. It's legal. That's what happened. It's that simple.
