There are no RULES on page 70.

If it's published in the RULES, then it will be published each and every year.

Points of Emphasis change every year, so this is NOT a fix.

It clearly tells you what the intent of the rule is.

And it will be gone next year. It is still messed up.

I agree that the intent of the rule is very clear. It was clear when the rule was changed to give a TC foul during a throw-in, but it would be nice if the entire rule was changed to reflected the actual language of the rules better. It is a minor fix, but not the fix to stop people from reading into the rule improperly.

And as stated, unless they make this a POE every year, this is going to cause potentially some confusion moving forward.

Not if they are trained properly and told the intent of the rule. But the problem is this might not be addressed to them or any veteran properly. Even the statement on page 70 is not going to cover all situations where this could get confused.
