When did in-game dunking become legal?

For NCAA (not high school!), bring back the jump ball over the AP arrow. That's one I believe the NBA has right.

I'd like this too...maybe just for the men's side. Even at the NCAA at WNBA level, there are that many more held ball situations (insert joke that sure to come from somebody) than at the comparable level on the men's side.

No jump balls, Ever. Not to start the game. Not to start the overtime. None. Period. Flip a coin. Guess the referee's age, or weight. Play rock, paper, scissors. Give it to the visitors. Just no jump balls. Have I made myself clear?

Billy:

We are going to have to agree to disagree. The Alternating Possession Rule is an abomination and should be sent to sleep with the fishes.

To everybody else: The other change should be to get rid of the stupid, yes I said stupid restricted area under the basket in the NCAA rules. The people who put forth this rule are people (head coaches) that do not have a clue regarding the game in which they are supposed to be teaching players to play. Just do not get me started on the rule adoption.

Don't worry...they got rid of it under the basket...now you got a three foot arc. And I don't see that rule changing either (nor really care if it changes back) and it's a trend a lot of rule sets have decided to follow...NBA, FIBA, and NCAA now.

Give it a couple years and the Fed will come out with some screwed version of the rule that will take 3 years to properly fix.

Maybe...if/when they are implement it, they're probably going to give states a certain amount of years before it goes into effect. Hopefully, that period of time would allow them time to iron out any kinks in the rule. Or they might go to the under the basket route that NCAA-M did without marking it...which was a joke of a rule and only lead to inconsistency.

Or NF could try to copy what NCAA does and end up mangling the wording of the rule like they've done with team control on the throw-in.

Shut up. Don't waste your time worrying about jump balls, and alternating possession. You've got bigger things to worry about, like lions, and tigers, and bears.

I have to agree. The arc-lovers say it doesn't allow people to draw a charge under the basket. Shouldn't the existing LGP laws (specifically, when the shooter left the floor) already take this into account?

My father-in-law played against Alcindor in high school. "I guarded his kneecaps," he recalls.

I'd T you up for that one, Billy, but I'm confused which character you just called Mark.

No....a player with LGP is still tagged with a block if they are a secondary defender in the restricted area....even if they were in position 10 steps before the shooter left the floor.

It is largely a product of officials not calling charges in the past in that area which led to more offensive attacks at the basket even though defenders were there. Then it became a "safety" issue for the shooters.....albeit one that the shooters were fully in control of. If people had only called the charges when they were there, we'd never have ended up in this position.

I think it it was a reference to the menagerie that was let loose near Zanesville, OH. Fortunately for Mark, Zanesville is closer to Pittsburgh than Toledo.
