I Blame The Coach ...

And it still would have been a charge if Black #1's coach had taught him to run this special play with both feet in bounds.

Any other reasons are not? C'mon ilyazhito. Really? You've got to be kidding. Right? I can think of dozens of other authorized reasons that are not violations. Let's just start with going of of...

Sounds good to me.

Would this (below) be a real violation of 9-9-3?

bucky: just another ref was talking about the non-contact 9-3-3 violation (A player shall not leave the court for an unauthorized reason).
