What would your supervisor say to you if you had done this?

Bainsey:

What is "FCELTI"? Thanks.

It's a wicked front court end line throw in. It's hard to type in a New England accent.

Ayuh...

Anyway, I like Rich's idea for a rule change. Would we allow time to be put back on, too?

Add it to the CE list in 2-10. All time elapsed, points and fouls count, so if something actually happens, it's really too late. But if the officials realize it and kill the play, they can fix it.

All fouls?

We're talking about how we would change it, so yes, I'm sure.

And even now, which fouls don't count? The only fouls that don't count have to happen during the unmerited FT in 2-10-4.

Good answer. I didn't want to confuse the rookies.

Make it correctable until there is a change of possession.

Good point just another ref. Otherwise we could have a ball remain live for several minutes with several changes of possession.

Well, this is why I wouldn't go to the second dead ball -- if you go to the first dead ball, you don't have to worry much about having all points/fouls/etc. count.

Regardless, I think the current interpretation handcuffs the officials too much -- mistakes happen and allowing the wrong team to complete a throw in shouldn't entitle that team to the ball.

Since I'm not king, it really doesn't matter. I do know I've seen officials ignore the interpretation, though, stop play, and give the ball to the proper team. And I've *never* heard anyone complain. It may not be the right thing to do, but most people think it is.
