Who in this convo is applying the "throw-in exception" to the OP? The throw-in exception applies specifically to players who gain PC while airborne during a throw-in. The OP does not have that element. You associated that exception to this play in your responses in msg #7 and msg #21.

Who's applying it?

I'm re reading the thread, I can certainly see some spots where I originally interpreted people saying the exception applied. But now that subsequent posts were added I think I was misreading their posts.

So I misinterpreted what people wrote. Although more accurately, I think the way things were worded left something to be desired, namely clarity.

What I can clearly see, is I was the only one to second guess the OP. Everyone else had it nailed. So that tells me I gotta hit the books even harder this summer.

It's coming along, I promise. :D

If you were an esteemed member, or Snaqwells, I would tell you to shut up or get a room.

Rule 9-9-1 states....

"A player shall not be the first to touch the ball after it has been in player and team control in the frontcourt, if he/she or a teammate last touched or was touched by the ball in the frontcourt before it went to the backcourt."


Rule 9-9-1 SHOULD state (my edition)....

"A player shall not be the first to touch the ball after it has been in player control inbounds and team control in the frontcourt, if he/she or a teammate last touched or was touched by the ball in the frontcourt before it went to the backcourt."

As my students would say:

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Burn!"

You both know what to do.
