As long is there is team control, no free throws would be shot.

Just so I'm clear on what you're saying, Mark, let me go back to the play I mentioned earlier and see what you think:

A1 is dribbling the ball (team control and player control). B1 bats the ball away from A1 (team control, but no player control). A2 fouls B2 while trying to recover the loose ball.

In that situation, according to what I think you're saying, B2 would NOT shoot any FTs, just awarded possession b/c Team A still was in control. Is that correct? If it is, then I don't like it. I can live with it, but I don't like it.

Chuck, you are correct.

As far as living with it or living without it. When I started officiating the new NCAA rule was the law of the land for both NBCOUSAC (NFHS/NCAA Men's) and NAGWS (which modeled its rules code after FIBA) and then NBCOUSAC changed to what has been in the NFHS/NCAA (both men's and women's) for years now. I really did not care one way or another about either way the rule is or was written.
