Jump Ball Violation
 

A1 and B1 jumpers...B1 violates by catching jump ball.. throw in awarded to A and coach states that Team A should get the AP arrow too.

6.4.1 E...Team A gain possession establishes arrow..so Team B gets arrow.

Right application of rule?

P.S. Coach is also a local basketball offical..I hope that she did not know the rule versus trying to bait me into a mistake on purpose by knowing the rule:confused:

You got it right.

Were you paying attention to the BYU/SDSU game? :D

Double Jeopardy ???
 

This would be the incorrect interpretation several years ago, which is what sometimes confuses a few older coaches, and "more experienced" officials.

Now stand back, and watch the Forum "light up with this next statement. If the timekeeper starts the game clock in error, then reset the game clock to 8:00. And, get ready for it, ... boom goes the dynamite.

Don't confuse younger officials with old, outdated rules or interpretations. That's the only dynamite I have.

Such as being able to enter the FT lane on the shooter's release? ;)

Legally Touched ...
 

5-9-2: If play is started or resumed by a jump, the clock shall be started when the tossed ball is legally touched.

6-3-7-C: Neither jumper shall: Catch the jump ball.

I predicted that the dynamite would go boom. Anybody have any better citations? Anybody have any less "confusing" citations?

There's a reason why some believe the ball, and arrow, version. Your confusion can be somebody else's fuller understanding. If one knows the reason (it's the old rule) why some would believe that the team that didn't catch the jump ball would get both the ball, and the arrow, then it may be easier to understand the newer rule.

I disagree that it helps understand the newer rule, but it can help with understanding why a coach might think that, and help in the explanation to the coach.

I don't really know why you'd need anything else. And you can catch the ball after it's been legally touched -- so having some time run off the clock is possible (and, I'd say, likely).

First Touch Violation ...
 

Agree (illegally catching the ball after a legal touch), with no reset of the game clock back to 8:00.

However, if the first touch is an illegal catch, and if the clock did mistakenly run down to 7:59, then the game clock should reset to 8:00. After all, the umpire (or nontossing official) should have never dropped their hand to chop in time, the hand should have remained up due to the first touch (catch) signaling the violation.

The first year that I taught Earth Science, I taught my students that blue stars were the hottest, and that red stars were the coolest. I even gave them examples of a piece of steel being heated up becoming, progressively, red hot, orange hot, yellow hot, white hot, and finally blue hot, before melting. A few days later, many, including several of my better students, got questions regarding star color, and temperature, wrong on an exam. I questioned them about the reason why they got such simple questions wrong. They replied that hot water faucet labels are often colored red, and that cold water faucet labels are often colored blue. From then on, I always warned them not to confuse water faucet label colors with star colors (it's counterintuitive, as previous students had done in the past) on Astronomy exams. After that, there were seldom mistakes made by my students regarding star colors, and temperatures.

Or, teaching my students that the symbol for Argon is Ar, and the symbol for Arsenic is As, and that these are often confused by students. So remember that Arsenic is one of the few common elements that gets its symbol from the first, and third letter, of its name, it's more of an exception than the rule.

I don't agree. That touch is legal. The catching happens to violate a jumpball restriction, not a legal means of contacting the ball. The jumper didn't punch the ball. That would be an illegal touch.

Boom Goes The Dynamite ...
 

I respectfully disagree with you. The catching violates the jump ball rules, and is thus, illegal. Plus, a really good nontosser would have never chopped in the clock, so the mistaken timekeeper would have made a timing error, that should be corrected with definite knowledge.

How about touching the ball on the way up? Reset 7:59 to 8:00?

A1 makes a throw-in pass to A2 from a spot on the sideline. The pass is on the outside of the imaginary boundary plane as it travels down the court parallel to the sideline. A2 catches the ball with his feet inbounds, but his arms extended over the out of bounds area.
Do you start the clock or not?

A3's throw-in pass is in the imaginary cylinder above the basket when B2 is the first player to touch it.
Start the clock or not?
