So, the basket counts. Plus, it's also BI. |

I know it's semantics and that you already knew that, but I wanted to point it out to Billy. Billy, if you want a cite for that, see the last sentence of case book play 4.41.4SitA. |

Good Citation ...
Quote:
Ruling: This is a double infraction and both acts are penalized. It is both basket interference and a technical foul. The moment the hand touched the ring, it was basket interference. When the player grasped the ring, a technical foul occurred. Award two points to Team A, followed by two free throws and a division line throw-in. (10-3-4 Exception) Thanks for the citation. It makes this situation a lot clearer, and doesn't leave me scratching my head. This case play makes it seem like the touch came first, basket interference, ball dead, award points, and the grab came immediately after, grabbing during dead ball, technical foul, two shots, ball at division line, foul added to player, and team total. Thanks for your effort and research. I knew something about my interpretation seemed odd, because it was wrong. |

Too Much Information ???
Quote:
In order to grab something, don't you have to touch it (make contact with it) first? You can touch something without grabbing it, but, you can't grab something without touching it first. I'm going to take chance at being ridiculed here, but I don't believe that these acts, a violation, and a foul, are simultaneous, as you state above. I believe that the touch, and violation, came first, and the grab, and foul, came immediately, but not simultaneously, after the violation. I also believe that the ball was dead, by the violation, when the foul, the grab, occurred, but it's a technical foul to grab the basket at any time, live ball, or dead ball, except when preventing an injury. I do agree with you that both acts are penalized accordingly. |

I'll give it one last try. 1) Under the rules concerning BI, there is no differentiation between touching the net or grabbing the net. Both are violations. See rule 4-6-2. Therefore, whether you "touch" the net or you "grab" the net while the ball is on the ring, you are committing a BI violation in both cases. Touching = grabbing iow. They are regarded as the exact same thing under this rule. 2) Under rule 10-3-4, it is a technical foul to "grab" the net. It is not a technical foul to "touch" the net. Touching does NOT equal grabbing iow. They are NOT the exact same thing under this rule. Sooooooo.....to sum up......if you GRAB the net while the ball is on the ring, you simultaneously commit a BI violation under #1 above AND you also get a technical foul under #2 above. If you only touch the net while the ball is on the ring, you get charged with BI under #1 but do NOT get a technical foul under #2. I have no idea how to make it any clearer than that. |

Thanks For Your Patience ...

No confusion with 2). No confusion with: If you only touch the net while the ball is on the ring, you get charged with BI under #1 but do NOT get a technical foul under #2. Problem with: If you GRAB the net while the ball is on the ring, you simultaneously commit a BI violation under #1 above AND you also get a technical foul under #2 above. Specifically with the word simultaneously. I don't believe that these acts, a violation, and a foul, are simultaneous. I believe that the touch, and violation, came first, and the grab, and foul, came immediately, but not simultaneously, after the violation. 9.11.1B states "The moment the hand touched the ring, it was basket interference. When the player grasped the ring, a technical foul occurred." The word "moment" in the first sentence, and the word "when" in the second sentence, seem to imply that these are not simultaneous acts. Note that I said "seem" and "imply", I'm still not 100% sure. I know that you said "one last try", and I would have no problem with the lack of a followup response from you, you've been patient enough with me, but is there anyway that you can, at least, consider, that the violation, and foul, are not truly simultaneous, but the rules still allow us, as you pointed out several posts ago, to penalize both acts accordingly. You've already corrected my incorrect interpretation of this situation, we penalize both acts accordingly. Thanks. I would like to be in 100% agreement with you. We're almost there. The word simultaneous is the only thing keeping me from being in 100% agreement with you. Last edited by BillyMac; Sun Apr 06, 2008 at 01:09pm. |

Since both infractions are penalized, what difference does it make it they occurred simultaneously or one immediately followed the other?

The instant that you grab the net when the ball is on the ring, you simultaneously commit basket interference and a technical foul. The rules that I cited--rules 4-6-1 and 10-3-4-- very explicitly tell you that. The ball also becomes dead instantly on the concurrent basket interference violation. That's rule 6-7-9. You not only have to know the rules; you have to understand them. |

Thanks For Trying To Straighten Me Out ...

Thanks for straightening me out on the penalty, points awarded for basket interference, two foul shots for the technical foul, ball at division line opposite the table, foul added to personal, and team, totals. Thanks to you, at least I have that part right now. Last edited by BillyMac; Sun Apr 06, 2008 at 03:03pm. |
