Why would you think that? I've ref'd plenty of basketball games in the county Nat Turner lived in and at the high school William Styron attended.

Every year I have to say the same thing: The NFHS is not very diligent in taking care of all the business associated with rule changes.

Trying to make sure I'm clear on your final synopsis.

What used to be a technical foul, now it's only a violation, and it's only a violation if an advantage has been gained.

Correct?

I'll just say I've been watching basketball for 50 plus years I have never seen a defender called for a violation for blocking a dunk unless their hand went through the ring.

Best I can say is that in NCAA Men's basketball, slapping the backboard is basket interference if it vibrates the ring while the ball is on it.

I'd have to look back, but I would think Jeff...

Why do you need a diagram for an out of bounds violation? Throw in from the exact spot the ball went out of bounds except between the lane lines.

Am I missing something?

If I'm remembering the play correctly from the semifinal, player dropped then retrieved the ball after it bounced.

Once the Lead sees the Center posted, he should have dropped. Absolutely no reason for him to take that play.

Do you think no other teammates can be out of bounds or do you think there's a specific number of teammates that are allowed to be out of bounds?
