NFHS is a little ahead of its time

Got my Fed publications catalog in the mail today. The Rules Book 2011-12 is listed at $7.20 but their website says it won't be available until September. Oh yeah - I can order a "Rules PowerPoint 2011-12" on CD for "only" $49.95. I think I'll pass.

September? Are they waiting for the NFL CBA to be negotiated?

I received a copy of all of the proposed rule changes and editorial changes today from my state office.

I noticed that the wording of the proposal to alter the definition team control included at the disposal for a throw-in, but not for a FT. Also, there was no mention of altering the backcourt rules to maintain the current rulings.

Interesting:
TC would exist during RPP for a TI but not a FT.
I'd still bet they make changes to the backcourt rule to maintain the current situation.

On a FT, it doesn't really matter. How many times in your career have you called a foul with the ball in the hands of a FT shooter?

As for the 10 second count, it really doesn't matter either way. Sure, it is different, but not enough such that it really matters. It would very rarely come into play.

Actually, TC already exists once the shooter has the ball, so the only point where it would matter is if you called a foul during an RPP situation with the ball at the disposal. As Nevada worded the post, once you start your 5 second count on a TI, TC begins. Could be an RPP situation, or could be a purposeful delay following a made basket.

I'm not so concerned about the 10 second or 3 second counts, although they would change. I'm more concerned about the following plays.

TI pass tipped by the offense in the FC into the BC where it's retrieved.

TI pass bounces in the FC before being retrieved by the offense in the BC.

Unless I'm missing something, these two situations would be a violation if TC is already established on the TI.
