Message: [QUOTE="Palatine, post: 5144654, member: 974"] According to the NCAA Rule Book (bold is mine) ----- Section 10. 10-Second Backcourt The 10-second count shall begin when a player legally touches the ball in the backcourt, except on a rebound or jump ball. In such case, the 10-second count shall start on player control. Once the 10-second count begins, an inbounds player or the player’s team shall not be in continuous control of a ball that is in the backcourt for 10 consecutive seconds. [B]The ball gains frontcourt status when it touches the frontcourt,[/B] touches a player or an official in contact with the frontcourt, [B]or when both feet of the dribbler and the ball contact the frontcourt.[/B] The 10-second count shall be reset on all stoppages of the game clock except when the defense causes the ball to be out of bounds, the offense retains the possession after a held ball, or there is a technical foul assessed against the offensive team. The offensive team will always have a reset of the 10-second count if the team is charged a timeout. Mahaney was in the backcourt past ten seconds. However, Mahaney dribbled the ball in the front court before time had expired, hence the ball had gained "froncourt status." That should not have been considered a violation. It may have been an over and back, as after the ball reached the frontcourt and Mahaney touched it while he was in the backcourt. However, we see this many times in games as players bring the ball over the time line and they are never called for it.
