It has a new number, but it is not new to the Case Book. It was there last year, the year before, the year before.....

Wanna bet?

No way, no bet. But where was it last year? And what is the rationale blah blah blah?

3.4.15 SITUATION C:
B1 fouls A1. Just before A1 goes to the line for a one-and-one, the official observes: (a) A1 either pulls the shirt out of his/her pants; or (b) that A1's pants are partially below the hips.

RULING: In both (a) and (b), A1 will be directed to put the shirt in the pants or pull up the pants and must leave the game immediately following his/her last free throw(s). The lane is cleared and it will be B's ball for a throw-in, whether or not the last free throw is successful.

The case play doesn't include the rationale. My guess is they're tired of kids not tucking in their jerseys. They don't want to send him out, since he's due his FTs but they aren't willing to penalize the defense. If A has the arrow, you penalize B by giving the ball to A because A1 broke a rule.

I have no problem with it. Actually did it about 9 years ago. That's how I know it's there.

Scrapper1:

It is an old interpretation that was made when the rule was first adopted. I can't remember how many years ago that was. Just because the interpretation is currently not in the Casebook does not mean the interpretation ceases to exist or be valid. Tony and I both remember the interpretation because we are both old geezers (at least I am an old geezer) who have been officiating and students of the rules for years and years and years. Show Tony some R E S P E C T (Find out what it means to me, ).

I think that this play was on the IAABO Refresher Exam last year. I'll check and get back to you guys.

It is in the Case Book and has been for years.

My point is that sometimes plays are removed from the Casebook but that doesn't mean that they still aren't in force.

Yes, I know. But you also wrote, "Just because the interpretation is currently not in the Casebook ..." My point is that it is in the Case Book.

What if the free throw shooter says he won't tuck his shirt in before shooting the free throws?

Technical Foul and then if he won't comply when asked a second time a 2nd technical and the coach then needs to provide a sub to shoot the free throws. We can't just send the player to the bench and allow a better shooter to come in and attempt the free throws just because he won't tuck his shirt in.

Thoughts?
