Message: [QUOTE="stamfordhusky, post: 3911960, member: 649"] You need to take a closer look. It definitely says that control is mandatory for there to be a call. Relevant NCAA rules: "A player shall not be the first to touch the ball in their backcourt (with any part of their body, voluntarily or involuntarily) when the ball came from the frontcourt while that player’s team was in team control and that player or their teammate was the last to touch the ball before it went into the backcourt." ". Regardless of where the throw-in spot is located, the throw-in team may cause the ball to go into the backcourt before player control has been established by the throw-in team on the playing court." "After the throw-in ends, an inbounds player in the frontcourt, who is not in control of the ball, may cause the ball to go into the backcourt." And you are misinterpreting "control". That means the last team to have control inbounds before the play happens. In this case, since they were inbounding the ball, neither team had had control. [/QUOTE]
