Off refresher test

[fiasco]

I'm going AP.

4-36-c is a little confusing, though:

"An alternating-posession throw-in when neither team is in control and no goal, infraction, nor end of quarter/extra period is involved when the game is interrupted."

AP is incorrect in this scenario. You're looking at the wrong part of the definition. Part of the POI definition states that the POI is a throw-in when the interruption occurs during a throw-in.

It can be a little confusing to look at all three options in 4-36-2 and try to figure out which one applies. I find it more helpful to think of them as an ordered list. Check 'em off one at a time; go with the first one that applies. Don't even consider the third option unless the first two don't cover the sitch.

Wouldn't it be much easier like we did it in the old days and put the ball back into play with a jump ball after a double foul. We wouldn't need a Ph.D. in Engineering (I have a bachelor's degree in engineering with a double major) and I still think the rule is a mess.

P.S. And no we were not restarting the game with a jump ball after every field goal when I started officiating.

What is really so hard about this rule? If the double foul happens:

• during a free throw or throw-in, you resume with the free throw or throw-in;
• after a foul or violation, then you resume by administering the penalty for the foul or violation;
• while the ball's in play and there's team control, then you simply give a throw-in to the team in control;
• when there is no team control, and there's no way to know who would've gotten the ball, then -- and only then -- you go to the arrow.

It's actually really simple. Just ask yourself, "What would've happened if the whistle had not blown?" If you answer that you don't know, then go to the arrow. Otherwise, just do what you were going to do next anyway.

Bingo!
This isn't rocket surgery, and it doesn't take a brain scientist to figure it out.

Scrapper:

Look how many different situations we would eliminate from the rules if we just went to a jump ball; we would not have so many rules in the book that cause such stupid rulings.

No way. Don't you remember doing junior high school girls games with dozens of jump balls?

I'd prefer to keep the rules regarding jump balls just the way they are, with just two minor changes. I would eliminate the jump that starts the game, and I would eliminate the jump ball that starts each overtime period.

Let's flip a coin like they do in football, and soccer. I'll bring the coin.

You're right. We would eliminate 4 very easily remembered situations from the rules. We would also give the defense a chance for an extra possession that they really don't deserve (since both teams fouled).

we would not have so many rules in the book that cause such stupid rulings.

I simply disagree that this is a stupid ruling. How is simply continuing the game from where it left off stupid? I really just don't understand your objection to this.

Nice. Did you sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night?

Yeah I agree. In fact that is the NBA rule

It just seems like this and many other rules are so botched with complexity that its not really needed. IMO

What did you do with the ball after you got it out of the peach basket?
