Interesting twist on the rules

[ChuckElias]

I'm pretty sure that rule has been in place since this new version of the ABA started up. I understand the concept behind it (reward a team for forcing a turnover in the backcourt; encourage full court pressure), but it seems silly to me.

As far as officiating it, I don't think the on-court officials would have to deal with it. The light would be activated on the sideline and the scorer would know when to add the extra point. The only question would be whether the light should actually be on (did the ball gain frontcourt status), and that seems pretty easy to answer without getting distracted from the game.
