I could be totally wrong, but something tells me that is not the intent of that rule or what they envisioned with that ruling. I think they want a closer rebound to eliminate that restriction. At least that is what the example in the Rules Video was showing. I hope they clear that up or use some better language in the future.

The rules video (with the players acting out scenarios) shows a rebound being tipped out towards the 3-point line followed by a drive to the basket and a crash w/i the RA. It's ruled a PC b/c there is no secondary defender/RA on this type of play. It's around the 25:40 mark of the video. The commentary says "tipped to a wing player". So I guess we would have to decide how far out a tip/rebound can go and determine "immediate drive to the basket".

Art. 3. After an offensive rebound, there are no secondary defenders when the rebounder makes an immediate move to the basket.

I dont think it matters how far the rebound travels, an immediate move to the basket is the key here.

Terrible. Just adopt the NBA rule all the way. Widen the lane, mark the LDB and make a 4' arc. All this pussyfooting around is dumb. We all know what they want, so just DO it.

Actually, I'd probably need a lawyer for copyright infringement or something if Nike ever saw that post.

Since I have friends at Nike, I could forward your post. However, for a modest financial consideration, I could forget I ever saw it. Just message me your debit card number and PIN. Thanks.

Exactly...it's like they don't want to go all in on the rule.

I agree this could cause some confusion without a doubt. If you brought it up I am sure others will make similar observations. The ball was not quite as far away from the basket as you said, then again, there are not going to be two or three players on the court and there is likely going to be other defenders on the way to the basket.

And the more I think about it, I could see more schools with this marking if they play at their own facility. The three point line changed a few years ago and everyone had that in place. I would think this is a smaller area to deal with; it is just a matter of desire to have the marking more than anything.
