Could one of you good folks direct me to where I might obtain a digital version of the FED basketball rules book??

Thanks in advance

Fed does not put their rules on line but I'm told there's a rules study program that includes a digitized version.
The closest you'll get is the ncaa rules. Almost the same, there's a chart in there that shows differences between mens, womens & fed.

Riddle me this . . . airborne shooter
 

The NCAA rules online referenced in a previous post shows the following:

1. In the table of rule differences, re: airborne shooter, it says of NFHS "In air after release of try or tap" and under NCAA Men "No rule".

2. In Rule 4-1-1 (Airborne Shooter) it says "An airborne shooter is a player who has released the ball on a try for goal until one foot has returned to the floor." And 4-1-2 says: "An airborn shooter is in the act of shooting".

Am I out of my mind? DON'T answer that. Rather, answer: "Is the table consistent with the definition?" and "What, concisely, are the practical implications of the difference in the NCAA and NFHS version of 'airborne shooter?'"

TIA

Re: Riddle me this . . . airborne shooter
 

The airborne shooter distinction comes from the fact that in NF and NCAA women's rules that an airborne shooter who crashes into a defensive player in such a way to have a foul called on the offensive player is still deemed to have control of the ball. Therefore a player control foul is called and no free throws may occur.

In NCAA men's, after the shot is released, and then the shooter crashes and is charged with a foul, the defense could go to the other end to shoot free throws if they were in the bonus.

Re: Riddle me this . . . airborne shooter
 

Practical impact: under ncaa mens if the ball is released on the shot before the still airborne shooter (A1) charges into a defender (B1) then it's NOT a PC, score the goal & B1 shoots 1&1 if in the bonus. Of course under fed & ncaa/w this is a pc. See also NCAA 4-26-8 a&b to complete the picture.

Ooooo, a minute late, Dan. Slowing down there, old man! :D

yeah...yeah...yeah....:p

Slight correction - a crash after release of a shot by A1 is not a team control foul. Player control fouls don't exist any more under NCAA rules.

I dunno...not according to my rule book.

(Hint: 4-26-8 & 4-26-9)

You may be slowing down, Dan, but you beat me to that one. :)

yeah...yeah...yeah...:p

Oy!

How the hell am I missing all of this stuff this week???
