If it's on the line, it is considered BC status. But a throwin from the FC cannot be retrieved by the throwin team in the BC.

Interesting.

A long time ago I got a chance to help out a company that sponsors trips to different countries as a favor to a co-worker. On one particular trip, I got to help with mundane things like bus schedules, but also got a chance to officiate some games with the local referees using FIBA rules. I read the rules before going there, but thank goodness I let the local officials handle the unusual plays. You would think "basketball is basketball", but there are so many variations.
