Threads like these are hilarious to me. Everyone wants to complain about the officials when, in most cases, those same people don't even know the rules.

 

Whenever I hear someone yell "over the back", I know I'm sitting next to someone who hasn't a clue.

So if I understood Clyde right, the 10 second half court and 5 second inbound rules are different in the way they end their count. I love learning new things. I think Clyde should start his own "Ref Fact of the Day"

Remember that the logic used for the throw-in (i.e. the count ends at release) does not apply to the issue of the 10-second rule. The 10-second count does not end until the ball touches either the floor in the front court or touches a player who is in the front couret. So a pass released at 9 that travels a long way but doesn't touch before 10 is a violation.

 

Just to play devils advocate. What if a player is in the back court and the count is at 9. Then the player shoots the ball from well behind half court and it goes in. Do they wave off the basket and claim a 10s violation occurred while the ball was on its way to the rim?

This fall under "Preventive Officiating"....the answer is: No Way

Great question. I'm counting the 3.

So whoever yells that out don't know basketball?

 

Almost always.

Almost always.

 

I don't believe that at all.

Almost always.

 

Now yes there are some who don't but to say almost always is liking saying "NO ONE" knows basketball. Let me guess if you yell it it's the truth?

That one gets me when players are rebounding and shooting.

Over the back stopped being a rule like 20 years. You never see officials say over the back. The call does not exist. I think that's what he was referring to
