Georgetown-St. John's final closing seconds

I think we need to note to new or rookie forum followers that we are talking about NCAA rules in this thread and not NFHS rules. In NFHS games it is permissible to call for and be granted a time out while a player is airborne and going out of bounds. See casebook play 5.8.3 Situation D.

Honestly, if that has to be pointed out, that is rather sad in my opinion.

It is very clear we are talking about a college game.

Yeah, but a rookie/newcomer might not know that the ruling is different per NFHS rules set.

Then they need to use a little bit of common sense and read the rule or at the very least ask a question how this relates to the high school level. Do we have to tell newer officials that the two 3 point lines do not apply to high school as well?

Some things should not have to be pointed out to you. That is why they have the rulebook in the first place.

If they were working on a court that had both sets of lines I personally wouldn't assume that a rookie knew which line applied and for which rules set. But that's JMHO.

And based on some the questions asked by some posters I wouldn't assume everyone is in possession of a rule book.

Like you are assuming newer officials would not know the difference? There are many newer officials that work other sports as well. Depending on the sports others might work, basketball is not nearly as complicated when it comes to rules differences from one level to another as it is in sports like football or baseball and even softball.

Why is it bad to clarify, Rut?
