That would be correct. <font color = red>You will have to make a judgment on whether he shot it or it slipped from his hands</font>, but the definition of a fumble is quite clear.
4-21 "A fumble is the accidental loss of player control when the ball unintentionally drops or slips from a player's grasp."

Again, I disagree. That <b>wouldn't</b> be correct. The definition of a fumble <b>is</b> clear, but whether a fumble actually occurred on this play <b>isn't</b> clear. If an official judged that the player shot it(as you said yourself above), then it <b>is</b> a try and you <b>can't</b> have a backcourt violation.
Iow, a ball that obviously slips from a shooter's hand can be ruled a try if the official judged it as a being a try.
Gee, I hate to be all cranky and nit-picky, but methinks you're contradicting yourself now, Nevada.
Btw, your being a typical fanboy when it comes to your favorite team--dear ol' Nevada U.- has got nuthin' to do with nuthin'. I know what you fanboys are like. It's always the officials' fault.:D |
