What, the definition of "first" and "last"?
Those are simple English words, not basketball terms. We're expected to know their meaning coming into games. |

No. Reading my post, it should have been obvious that I implied there was no NF basketball rule that states if two teams have the same number of points at the end of regulation, then they both are awarded victory, as it is written into the rules of other sports.

That doesn't change the fact that there are indeed simulataneous firsts, where multiple people/incidents can be first. In the case of the aforementioned backcourt question, both teams were first on the last frontcourt touch, and therefore, all three backcourt violation criteria are met.

If we can stretch this thread to 4 or 5 pages, it may provoke an editorial revision in the new books when they come out. In the meantime, there is no definitive answer to the question.

There's four backcourt violation criteria, not three.
1) there must be team control 2) the team in control must be last to touch the ball in frontcourt 3) the ball must achieve backcourt status 4) that same team must be first to touch the ball after it has been in the backcourt Ya' know - now that I think about it - there's actually a redundancy to criteria 3 and 4. If number 4 says the touch must come after the ball has been in the backcourt, there's really no need for number 3, because number 4 requires the ball to have achieved backcourt status. What do you guys think?

Then (2) should read: The team in control must be the last to touch before the ball enters the backcourt. The first touch need not be in the frontcourt and the second touch need not be in the backcourt. |
