Either that or you define PC to include a ball in possession of a thrower....holding or "dribbling" a live ball without reference to it being inbounds.

I asked the exact same question. We'll see if they make it consistent and clean or a mess.

I don't know. Just a thought...

Or maybe, those that are finalizing the rules and interps just might happen to see some of the questions here and will make sure they get it right to start with. They probably won't get it right/complete to start, but it doesn't hurt to be hopeful.

I don't think that would help, as it would still leave the change in when you start a BC or 3 second count.

Aren't both already adequately covered? Team control IN the frontcourt for 3 seconds and team control IN the backcourt for the 10 second count. I guess that might have a count starting before a player gains control inbounds but I don't see that as a huge problem. I suppose you could change those count rules to only apply after there has been player control inbounds.

The word count for all my posts in this thread combined is still lower than any one single post from my buddy.
