There's a spcific case on this.

If the try was unsuccessful, go to the arrow -- and the inbounds spot is the spot of the foul.

Thanks Bob..as always you lay it out clearly so we can understand the reasoning and not just say..look it up

Too bad Bob won't be on the court the next time you need to go to the POI and you don't know the 3 options.

maven makes a good point. You'll get a lot of answers here that go beyond, "Here's the rule, see what you think." But the point is that unless you actually know the POI rule.

IOW, it's nice to have a little of both. That's what I got when I first started coming here, and it's served me well.

And of course this type of attitude toward someone who really wants to learn the correct ruling on a situation is soooo tremendously helpful. It really is one of the main reasons we do such a great job of keeping younger/newer officials around for such long careers.

The bit you've quoted was not my first response. In post #2, I offered a case play and the rule that defines POI.

The OP complained that I was just telling him to "look it up."

How long is someone a new official? And how many times have they asked a question in a similar fashion? Those factors need to be taken into account also.

There's always a balance between giving a man a fish and teaching a man to fish. I can't tell you how many times I've found something else I didn't know when looking for the answer to a question.
