Message: [QUOTE="trisailin, post: 2635414, member: 2144"] As I saw Z's first two shots, it appeared to me she completely missed the rim, managed to catch her own "pass" on the other side of the basket and was not called for anything. Did I miss the ball touching the rim? Or is there some rule that you can pass the ball to yourself? If it's valid without touching the rim, can you throw the ball in the air in one place, run and catch it yourself and that be within the rules? When I played back when they were still using peach baskets, I understood the ball ALWAYS had to hit the rim before you could regain possession. If you "shoot" a free thow, it has to hit the rim (or the floor) before YOU can reclaim it (as in you can't blast if off the backboard with a return to yourself). It HAS to hit the rim. Can anybody explain? [/QUOTE]
