team control throw-in

Until they fix this wording, this will confuse more and more officials. Eventually, they will likely just make it a violation if they don't fix it in the next year or two.

I've lost hope.

... especially new officials that weren't familiar with the old wording, which made for a much easier interpretation of this ruling.

New studious "bookworm" officials will be especially confused, because the interpretation doesn't seem to match the written rule.

What the heck is so confusing about the following ?......

Nothing confusing about that at all.

Unfortunately - it doesn't say that in the rulebook. The wording in the rulebook is what's confusing - and contradictory to their case plays. Unless someone goes to clinics (or discusses things here), they are likely to miss this one on the court.
