Another change to the backcourt rule
As I was reviewing my pre-season test, I noticed another change to Rule 9-9 that I don't think has been mentioned. 9-9-3 provides the exception in certain circumstances for an airborne player to jump from his/her own frontcourt, secure the ball and land in the backcourt.
Prior to this year, it was stated that a player from the "team not in control" was given this exception, and then it provided three examples -- during the jump ball, throw-in or while on defense. Now, however, only the examples remain in the rule. The phrase "team not in control" was deleted. Is this a big deal? It changes at least one play that I can think of (because it was on the exam): Quote:

Nope. That's exactly the point. So nobody gets the benefit of the exception when team control is lost due to a try being attempted.
The only reason I mentioned the shooting team specifically is that it was the test question. |

This is just my opinion, Billy (and the reason I started the thread), but I don't think you needed a case play prior to this year. The rule specifically said that the exception applied to a player from the "team not in control". To me, that explicitly means that if your team doesn't have team control, the exception applies to you.
