This is the same guy who told me that when Team A has the ball in their backcourt, throws the ball toward the frontcourt, one of A's players jumps from the frontcourt and catches the ball in the air then lands in the backcourt.....is NOT a backcourt violation. This was apparently because "All three points" haven't been in the frontcourt, and because the ball didn't cross the plane of the division line. I can't make this stuff up.

Unfortunately, someone has, at some point, made this stuff up; and too many people buy into it.

I guess because they can't be bothered to read the rule book or take the Part II test without being fed the answers every year.
