Ball in Play after Basket

[Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.]

I just know that I am going to hate myself in the morning for two reasons: (1) I have yet to write to Mary Struckhoff and Dick Knox concerning the Thread referred to by BkbBallRef and (2) because I am replying to the posting of this thread.

For this original thread, I would use the dreaded common sense theory if the age group was 8th grade and below implement a "do over." But even then, if the level of play was very good at the 8th grade age group I might call the violation (the thrust of the discussion in the earlier thread).

If the age group is 9th grade and older, the players are supposed to have their heads in the game, and if they do not, that is the player's problem. In other words, violation everytime (see the earlier thread for a discussion on why this is a throw-in violation, even in North Carolina, see Dick Knox).

Anyway that is my two cents on this posting.
