10 second count

This makes sense, but is there a case/rule reference?

Let me see if I can find one. Oh yeah, here it is:

The count stops when the ball touches the floor (or rim/backboard) in the frontcourt or a player or official in the frontcourt.

Rule 4-3 ... A ball in flight retains the same location as when it was last in contact with a player or court.

Just to contribute something ...

2008-09 NFHS Basketball Rules Interpretations

SITUATION 8: A1 is dribbling in his/her frontcourt when B1 deflects the ball into A's backcourt. The ball is bouncing toward the end line in A's backcourt while A1 and B1 give chase. B1 and A1 each contact the ball, but neither gains control. Finally, after numerous attempts by each player, A1 gains possession deep in A's backcourt. When does the 10-second count begin anew for Team A?

RULING: The count starts as soon as the ball goes into the backcourt since team control has not ended. (4-12-3; 9-8)

Thank goodness for the casebook, huh?

The plays help make sense of the rules sometimes.

B-1 complains to U-1 that R is related to A-1. Is there a violation?

In stiffler's defense, this isn't from the casebook, it's from one of the annual list of interps provided by the NFHS. In this case, it was part of the 2008-2009 interps.

Stiffler, do a search for the thread titled "Past Interps Archive", and you'll see the past several years' worth of interps, many of which are helpful in combining with current cases to help understand the rules and their intent.

Thanks for the clarification, but I wasn't taking shot at him. Caseplays/interps
have helped me as well.
