Late to the party, what mistake was that? |

See:
SITUATION 10: A1, in the team's frontcourt, passes to A2, also in the team's frontcourt. B1 deflects the ball toward Team A's backcourt. The ball bounces only in Team A's frontcourt before crossing the division line. While the ball is still in the air over Team A's backcourt, but never having touched in Team A's backcourt, A2 gains possession of the ball while standing in Team A's backcourt. RULING: Backcourt violation on Team A. Team A was still in team control and caused the ball to have backcourt status. Had A2 permitted the ball to bounce in the backcourt after having been deflected by B1, there would have been no backcourt violation. (4-4-1; 4-4-3; 9-9-1) As we all know, it is not a violation for team A to cause the ball to have BC status...never has been. If it were, it would be an immediate violation when A loses control of the ball and it goes into the backcourt. But it is not. It's all about who was the last to touch the ball BEFORE it gains BC status and the first to touch AFTER it gains BC status. |

I'll stick with Bob and the NFHS. You and MTD were made for each other, diatribes and all.

It is unfortunate that you don't believe that this is a violation. It says so right there in the Rules Book. :( It also states that the penalty is another throw-in from the original spot. 9-2-10. . . The opponent(s) of the thrower shall not have any part of his/her person through the inbounds side of the throw-in boundary-line plane until the ball has been released on a throw-in pass. NOTE: The thrower may penetrate the plane provided he/she does not touch the inbounds area before the ball is released on the throw-in pass. The opponent in this situation may legally touch or grasp the ball. PENALTIES: (Art. 10) 1. The first violation of the throw-in boundary-line plane by an opponent(s)... PENALTY: (Section 2) The ball becomes dead when the violation or technical foul occurs. Following a violation, the ball is awarded to the opponents for a throw-in at the original throw-in spot. |
The NFHS is the rules making body. If they say black is white, then black is white (at least in games played strictly under their rules). They may be inconsistent, but they are not wrong. ;)

My interp is consistent with rules also. Any B violation causes a new throw in. I for one do not blindly follow NF in such blatantly wrong interpretations.
For those of you who believe the NF ruling I need you to clarify a few points. 1. There are a number of violations that B could commit before an AP throwin ends. Which ones result in a new throw in awarded to team A? 2. WHAT criteria Has the NF has provided to determine whether to award a new throw in or not? 3. What makes one violation more egregious than another that would allow team A to be awarded a new throw in in one case and not a new Throw in given another violation? All interpretations need to be consistent by Rule. Therefore: ALL violations of throw in by A on AP throw in also cause loss of arrow. Award new throw in to Team B. ALL violations of throw in by B on AP throw in also allow A to retain arrow. Award new throw in to Team A. |
