I don’t know why the sideways fingers for 6/7/8/9 aren’t the norm. Allows for single-phase reporting to continue. Would also seem easy for scorers to get used to if you just give them a chance.

Truthfully, yes. The one time I did call it last year the play was almost identical, and I waited to see what happened. I think more or less the interpretation THEN is the same as what is codified...

That was actually on the Maine IAABO video! I think it’s a good idea.

Is this also a college mechanic?

Some IAABO board in Maine just put out a new rules video and it confirmed what the OP states. Indeed a true do-over. I don’t think even IAABO would so boldly pronounce this without qualified inside...

Clearly. The editor probably used the “find all” function and then searched the book for every mention of “spot nearest the foul.” No doubt this was changed in a bunch of places, but shouldn’t have...

After 110 posts, one thing is for certain:

Those mandatory pre-season rules meetings this fall are not going to be the 20-minute social calls they’ve been in recent years.

I think this will be treated much like correctable errors, where we can fix the error for a time, but consumed time before its discovery will be a sunk cost.

I could get behind “would you favor” #3, 9, 10, 11, and 13.

I don’t want #12 because I’d rather see the seat belt rule disappear altogether. It’s all or nothing for me, preferably nothing.

Something isn’t adding up here.

If they waived off the basket, that implies the try was not yet in flight when the double foul occurred. So then how could the POI be an AP throw-in?

At the least, I think it’s implied that the basket can be counted when the foul call clearly should have stopped the clocks but didn’t. This provides a sensible allowance for definite knowledge.

This was kind of a slow-developing continuous motion play right under the basket. ...
