Over and back?

c) the ball becomes dead.

Did any of these things happen in Rita's play?

I guess that's easier for him than just asking what causes loss of team control and having somebody else answer before he looks it up.

Well, I'm at work and don't have my books with me. I thought I might try and wrap my brain around it while the original question was fresh in my mind.

Kinda what I figgered. I played it out in my head, and decided to skip it all. Plus, I don't know whether he has a book.

Oh, and it was a relatively short rule to type.

This is true, byron, but.....

He's asking the question that others have. It's good for discussion and sometimes these questions bring about well written answers that expand the knowledge of a given rule.

I got a lot of flak from the violating team on this one. All they saw was that it wasn't their fault that it went into backcourt.

I got the "head shake, woman doesn't know the rule" look from one of them.

We've all gotten flak on this call, because we're the only ones who know the rule.

I T'd up a varsity coach years ago during a JV game because, after I explained the call briefly to him and ran down to the other end of the court, he hollered "learn the rule!" at me. :shrug:

You Td up the JV bench or did you get him in the V game that followed?

The V coach was "assistant" during the JV game. The poor JV coach asked the table whether she had to sit; they didn't know, so they buzzed me over to deliver the bad news.

Funny, I always thought it was the "head shake, bald bi-racial man doesn't know the rule" look.

Snaq, what is the reason/story behind your signature?

Just a compilation of goofy things I've had partners say during the captains' pregame. Some are otherwise very good officials who can't stop talking in pregame. I actually had one start to go into the correctable error rule with the coaches in pregame; unsolicited.

Officials whose captains meeting are wayyyyy too long with a lot of frivolous information. The players aren't listening, your partner(s) probably isn't listening...in fact the only one listening to all that is the person speaking themselves.

Yet, I bet they wouldn't have the same reaction had the ball gone OOB.
