Legal play?

That might be an NBA rule, and it is one of the most common myths in FED and NCAA ball.

That and a player diving for a loose ball and sliding with it not being a travel. Had a coach jump down my shirt for that last night, I was C right in front of her bench and the player slid to a stop right in front of us both...she screams in my ear "HOW IS THAT NOT A TRAVEL!" Then when I tell her without looking at her "Coach she has every right to slide with that basketball and come to a stop" she goes "Geez I was just asking", ha! Also had a 5-second count on a player that was divided between two defenders on a switch and the other coach jumps me for that, "HOW CAN IT BE 5-SECONDS WHEN THEY SWITCH?!?!"...then I hear his assistant set him straight....wanted to really laugh on that one, insert foot in mouth....

Yet another example of the NBA rules making our job more difficult. It is a travel in the NBA if a player slides and gains an advantage.

HOW IS THAT NOT A TECHNICAL FOUL!

Two in one night!?! You may wish to consider adopting the NV rule. If a coach complains about a call and is wrong on the rule, it is an automatic T.

I agree with Nevada on the coach screaming in your ear. Screaming in my ear is pretty close to automatic for me, unless the gym is noisy and she's trying to call a timeout.

Thanks everyone - and it's just one foot back in play, not two ... correct?

Ask yourself what constitutes inbounds status versus OOB status.

Then check 4-35-1&2.
