Plane irrelevant?
 
Someone just posed a question regarding "breaking the plane" of division line.

The rules certainly deal with breaking the plane during throw-ins (DOG warnings) and free throws (lane violations), but I can't think of a single instance where the division line's plane would matter in terms of a backcourt violation. Here, it should be allow about where a player takes off/lands. Correct?

Well, about player location, but yes.

I know of no circumstance that makes the division line plane relevant to anything.

Yeah, and here I was having a bad day (started last night around 7:30 MST).

Well, the division line has planes other than the one that is vertical. One of them is horizontal. I'd probably have something (a suspended game) if a player breaks the horizontal plane of the division line. :D

This whole thread is now just plane off-track.

Not all, wfd. A lot? Certainly. Still, I find that people want to know the "right way" to do anything. They might not like the answer, but in the long run, a better educated fan base makes our jobs easier.
