Don't confuse the issue. If the player is completely off the floor, then s/he is inbounds if s/he last touched the court inbounds. Simply being airborne, does not justify your claim that the player has "nothing in".

I understand..."Something in, nothing out" is incomplete. Yet, we all seem to throw it around like it's the end all to the argument. My point is, think of it however you want, I think of the rule as "one foot in, nothing out." It helps me to remember. We all remember it differently.

So whatever helps the person remember that as long as nothing is out, then you are in.

I just read 4-playerlocation and then I don't have to try the "sayings that are right most of the time but might not be right all of the time."

How is it incomplete? What scenario isn't covered?

An airborne player who saves the ball. He would not have something in, as he is airborne. Thus, incomplete.

Being airborne means his location is defines by his last contact with the floor, which is in bounds as long as something was in and nothing was out.

Apparently, you completely missed the point of my last post. If you jump from inbounds, then you "have something in", even though you are airborne. Your statement above is simply incorrect by rule.

Yeah, he did. But that was 7 weeks ago!

LOL! Freddy resurrected the thread and I didn't realize it was that old.
