Wow.

Genius. I never thought that "they" could write it however they wished! If only I was as smart as you!:cool:

Anyway...jetmetfan, please let me know what you find out. And thanks for checking in the first place. It just seems that we would be penalizing a team (losing some of their 10) for the defense tipping the ball away. We really shouldn't start the 10 until the team has control inbounds - just like on a rebound, or a ball tipped into backcourt by the defense, etc.

Or rewarding the defense for making the tip...the offense is in control of where the ball will go from the moment they start the throw-in, so I don't see it as penalizing them.

OK...so A has the ball in their frontcourt, and A3 attempts a pass to A4 which is tipped by B4 into A's backcourt. Using your logic, we would start the 10 second count as soon as the tipped ball gets into the backcourt because the defense made a good play, and not wait until A recovers the ball to start the 10 second count???

That's the rule already. PC/TC have been established so as soon the ball gains BC status you begin your count.

Who says it was a big deal? I guess questions are only valid if they come from the land of wild horse round-ups? :rolleyes:

Wow, seems that you weren't kidding with the smart comment.

I guess this is Karma.

2008-09 NFHS Basketball Rules Interpretations

SITUATION 8: A1 is dribbling in his/her frontcourt when B1 deflects the ball into A's backcourt. The ball is bouncing toward the end line in A's backcourt while A1 and B1 give chase. B1 and A1 each contact the ball, but neither gains control. Finally, after numerous attempts by each player, A1 gains possession deep in A's backcourt. When does the 10-second count begin anew for Team A? RULING: The count starts as soon as the ball goes into the backcourt since team control has not ended. (4-12-3; 9-8)

Doh.:o

Knew that. Hate it when I don't stop to think before I type.

As Roseanne Rosanna-danna would say....Never mind.

Uhmmmm, yeah. If karma really does exist, you are in way more trouble than me!:p

You did it again. It's Emily Litella :D

Clarification alert!!!
 

According to my FNI, the shot clock would run and the 10-second count would be in effect. Reason: TC exists during a throw-in.

My FNI also advises we shouldn't go crazy trying to dissect the proposals until June 18 when PROP makes its decision on them. But given who we are... :)

Again, this is the NCAAW interpretation ONLY.

Thanks!

Again, I say if that's the way that they wish to do it, that's no big deal. Yes, it differs from the current way that NFHS and NCAAM handle this.

I don't understand why rocky felt compelled to take a shot at me for expressing my feeling on such a ruling.

Seriously?

Ok...I was asking questions to get some clarification on the timing issue, and you come in with the "What's the big deal" comment - and I wasn't the only one who thought that was over the top. So you got a shot back at you. Was that juvenile of me? Yeah, I will own that.

Now back to your regular scheduled events...

I've been advocating the 10 sec count in the women's game for years.Let's see if it passes the ultimate test.

10 sec count
 

The rule change is not a big deal. There will be almost no
10 second violations called. Teams will adjust.

The pain will be dealing with bad shot clock operators and
Having to make corrections when they screw up
