Using Backboard to Gain An Advantage

Now the NF uses basically the exact same language in Rule 10-3-4a.

I guess you need to read the rules in question.

Peace

Actually, the rule you quoted is 10-3-4b, which is not the rule in question.
You will note that the word advantage does not appear here.

The question in the OP was about placing a hand on the backboard to gain an advantage. This is specifically forbidden in 10-3-4a.

One of us needs to learn to read all right.
