You can also check out specific plays in the case book. 5.2.3 situations A,B,& C.

Not sure where you are coming from. The rule and references were taken from the NFHS 2009-10 rules and case book.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry I didn't realize the thread took a turn to the NFHS. I apologize.

We all know you are a creditable source for information and therefore couldn't figure out why you thought the .3 rule was old. The thread turned when bbcof83 asked for NFHS guidelines.

No apologies necessary.

Funny, but no. IIRC, he does NCAA and is working at trying to make the NBA. His knowledge of high school rules is limited to how they're similar to the NBA.
