inadvertent whistle? pt. 2

[BillyMac]

1) We told you who gets the ball in high school, as you asked. If the shooter released the ball, you go with the arrow, if she didn't release the ball, which is highly unlikely, but certainly possible, as Scrapper1 pointed out, the shooter's team gets the ball for a throwin at the closest spot.

2) If, as you state, "I still believe it was in her hand", the rule is quite clear; the shooter's team maintains team possession until an opponent secures control, or the ball becomes dead.

3) Your suggested rule changes certainly seem to be based on common sense, and they may someday be incorporated in the rule book, but as of 2008-09, they are not, and you can't go around making up your own interpretation when you disagree with a rule. This "not making it up as you go along philosophy" was a NFHS Point of Emphasis a few years ago.

4) Scrapper1: You've got a lot of nerve bringing up this highly unlikely scenario, and high tailing it, leaving it up to Snaqwells and me to pick up the pieces.
