3 second count starts when the team inbounds the ball in the backcourt.

An important omission from the list.

3 second count starts before the team inbounds when the ball is in the frontcourt.

A player cannot be called for a 5 second closely guarded violation if they're making a move toward the basket.

What is 5 second closely guarded? I have a couple of AAU games Friday night, so I need to know these things. You never know, they could be competitive.

Are you allowed to play defense that closely in AAU?

As long as there is no reaching.

What is funny to me, is that I found this forum while trying to come up with a way to educate fans and youth level coaches about some of the biggest rule misconceptions. Googling basketball rules etc... I came across a link for a thread from this forum "Most misunderstood rules". I started lurking, then joined, and have been addicted ever since.

More than once I have considered directing certain coaches, fans, and fellow officials to this site so that they may gain a greater understanding of the rules. The only thing preventing me from doing so is the fear of too many "fanboys" and other trouble makers causing a disturbance in here.

I had a coach tell me during pregame tonight, that he just recently learned after 12 years as a MS girls HC, that a player can dribble up over their head without violating. I clarified that unless the ball comes to rest it is nothing.

It is amazing what rule myths are out there.

No fanboy has survived a single debate in here.

Send them over here....they'll either gain some rules knowledge or get smacked down.

Coming soon to a thread near you: FAN BOYS Part Duh!

Stay "tooned" for the sequel: 3 over the back in the key while reaching.
