According to the popular definition, a Blue Moon is the second Full Moon to occur in a single calendar month. The average interval between Full Moons is about 29.5 days, whilst the length of an average month is roughly 30.5 days. This makes it very unlikely that any given month will contain two Full Moons, though it does sometimes happen. On average, there will be 41 months that have two Full Moons in every century, so you could say that once in a Blue Moon actually means once every two-and-a-half years.

This is where we need to understand rule differences....

We all know that in NFHS the ball goess OOB on a BC nearest to the violation. In the NBA it does in fact go to the midcourt line (FC side of it).

When people watch NBA or NCAA they think all the rules are the same. The more you know about the rules the better off you are.

My partner had a BC violation. (last to touch -first to touch)... The coach looks at me and I point and say last to touch-- first to touch.. Coach replies "not when he does not have control"... Your right coach for the NBA but were not playing those rules to night

(or my favorite... there are 29 arenas in the country that play that way but this is not one of them) (obvious slight to the CBA and NBDL but it still works)
