Fogive me if I am wrong, but shouldn't the players be behind the tree point line and not on it? I read a comment yesterday that if you are touching the three point line, you are considered inside the three point line.

Sorry for the obviousness of that. New guy I'm mentoring got the first part and forgot the second, banishing everyone above the top of the arc.

Or did I miss the point of the response?

Yes, but that's what he meant.
