A Play I can not find in rules or case... Actually happened.

There's a big grin on my face!!!

I'm sure glad he stuck with his original intepretation!

Mark, what's the point? Let it go! There are much more important things going on. Besides that, you have a snowball's chance in hell of convincing him. I doubt vey seriously he's concerned about what an official in Ohio thinks of his interpretation. No offense intended.

I know only a little of FIBA rules, but I do Know HS rules. What most of these guys think is: The 2 inch minimum that is painted is the line. To say the inside side edge of the line is the boundaary line and that is a mm in thickness is what confuses most people. Much easier to say the painted line is OB and you can touch any part of the painted line on a throw in. You just can't touch the court. The rule 1-2 even refernece the sideline and endline as minumum 2 inch widths. So following that verbage, the entire 2 inch minimum line is OB.

Most importantly: That is what is differnet in HS than FIBA rules. HS rules you can use that 2 inche portion if you are OB. FIBA you can't.. The rule is not the same..

Thanks! That's what I was attempting to explain to Duane but I really wasn't familiar with the FIBA interp.
