Born Again ...

I was one of those who insisted otherwise, but I've been "born again" after finding this twenty-one year old interpretation.

Somewhat Similar Situations ...

I have now separated these somewhat similar situations into three different paragraphs.

The shooter can retrieve one’s own airball if the official considers it to be a shot attempt, or if the ball...

Karma ...

Shut up. You were the one worried about it in a real game. It was supposed to happen to you, not to me.

Bad karma. Hadn't seen this play in many, many years, but had it today in my game.

Kid barely five feet tall shooting against a kid six feet plus. You should have seen the terrified look on the...

How's this? Can we now put this to bed? Now separated into two paragraphs. Note that I avoided saying anything that may be considered controversial about fumbles.

How does one achieve a strike through on the Forum?

Blocked Shot ...

Thanks bob jenkins.

So this (below) part of my list isn't true.

When an airborne player keeps control of an attempted shot that is blocked, is unable to release the ball ... the shooter loses...

Very Interesting ...

Interesting that the player is said to touch the ball after it bounces. Many Forum members (I have agreed for a written exam) have discussed that one doesn't have to wait for the touch, but if one...

Brilliant, but still not on my list.

Thanks for your time and effort. You've obviously put a lot of thought into this. Much appreciated. It wasn't in vain. You haven't completely changed my mind,...

Is Raymond saying that this situation may be one of those blind spots?

If that's what he is saying,...

Split Foot Travel ..

Note: Took me some time to figure out what a split foot travel is, as we have never used that term here in my little corner of Connecticut.

Again, JRutledge is 100% correct in his literal...

Trust But Verify ...

When both Raymond and Camron Rust disagree with me, I have to take pause.

Pick A Card, Any Card ...

You've got proof either way.

Illegal: He moved his pivot foot before starting a dribble.

Legal: One can always pick up a fumble.

Literal Interpretation ...

By a literal interpretation of the rule, JRutledge is 100% correct. If one deems it to be the start of a dribble, it is a dribble. If one deems it to be the start of a bounce pass, it is a pass.

Don't underestimate the rules knowledge and experience of Raymond and Camron Rust. It would be a big mistake to ignore either of them.

Agree. For me it's no longer about getting the interpretation correct on my list, but it's now about getting the interpretation correct when it happens in my game.

My misunderstood rules list shouldn't have rules listed that I misunderstand.

Not A Dribble ...

Thanks for your input Raymond. It's greatly appreciated.





Makes sense. But doesn't one have to be holding a ball at the same time one illegally moves a pivot foot to travel?
