February 17, 201016 yr Awesome shot. I've emailed Jerry Tipton a few times and he has responded. We exchanged about 5 or 6 emails back-to-back. Forde has exchanged a few emails with my brother. I emailed some Herald Leader writer a few years ago (could have been Tipton) explaining that Packer didn't have a clue as to what the real rules of basketball were after he claimed Sparks "traveled" while taking the ball OOB against UL. My email made the paper. I'm officially on record as having blasted Packer. I feel like a REAL UK fan now.
February 17, 201016 yr Author Over and back violation, wasn't it? Absolutely amazing shot though. I don't think he crossed the line, did he?
February 17, 201016 yr I don't think he crossed the line, did he? I just watched it a few times. His foot definitely crosses the line after he lets go of the ball. He's close to the line as he touches it, but I don't think it was a violation. Still a great shot.
February 17, 201016 yr Even if his foot crossed the line, if the ball didn't, it wouldn't be a violation would it?
February 17, 201016 yr Even if his foot crossed the line, if the ball didn't, it wouldn't be a violation would it? That's what I don't know. His foot was across the line and on the floor when he shot but the ball wasn't so I'm not sure if he was in violation. I always thought it was any part of your body. As pointed out, still an amazing feat.
February 17, 201016 yr It has to be the ball and both feet to be a violation.. No it doesn't. "Three points" (the ball & both feet) must enter the frontcourt before a backcourt violation can be called.
February 17, 201016 yr Even if his foot crossed the line, if the ball didn't, it wouldn't be a violation would it? Yes, it would be a violation if his foot even touched the line when he (or his teammates) had established possession in the front court.
