A big missed call from the UNI game that irked me

From the rule book: "An inbounds player (and his team) shall not be in continuous control of a ball that is in his back court for 10 consecutive seconds."

Therefore, it does not require 10.1 seconds for a violation. 10.0 seconds is a violation.

Interestingly, in contrast, the three second rule requires that a player stay in the three second lane for more than three seconds for a violation to occur.

Wow. I did not know that.
I wonder if that's the same for a lane violation?
 
Wow, I'm not sure I've ever seen so much fail in one thread.....and by people who are so convinced they are right.

Once the shot clock hits 25 seconds and the team has not made it over the halfcourt line with both feet and the ball, it is a violation. The rule explicitly states that you must make it over the halfcourt line BEFORE 10 seconds have elapsed.
 
To further illustrate using facts:
The 35 second clock does not have increments of tenths. This obvious, but should be stated.
The shot clock starts at what would be 35.0 seconds, not 35.9 seconds or any time increment in between.
When the clock goes from 35 to 34 some measurement of time less than a second has elapsed. In other words it does not wait to decrement by that second before it reads 34. It's only after the clock hits 33 that the full second has been accounted for.

If the shot clock was broken down by tenths or hundredths then your reasoning would sound as long as it read 25.0. Since it doesn't the
clock needs to get to 24.

to avoid a lane violation, do you have to leave to lane entirely, or just with one foot?

ive played a ton of hoops but not that much with refs, and i rarely play in the post.

Ronco, stop what you are doing and thinking and read this very carefully.

We can all agree that when the shot clock hits 0 a buzzer sounds and a shot clock violation has occured correct? Since there are NO tenths of a second we can therefore agree that if anything between 1.0 seconds, and .01 seconds were left on the shot clock it would show 1.

Now that we understand that we can say that the clock starts at 35 and counts down. The clock STAYS at 35 until one FULL second has elapsed, at which point it hits 34. Building on that we have....

34= at least 1 full second has elapsed
33= at least 2 full seconds have elapsed
32= at least 3 full seconds have elapsed
31= at least 4 full seconds have elapsed
30= at least 5 full seconds have elapsed
29= at least 6 full seconds have elapsed
28= at least 7 full seconds have elapsed
27= at least 8 full seconds have elapsed
26= at least 9 full seconds have elapsed
25= at least 10 full seconds have elapsed= violation

To take it further to a shot clock violation....

24=11
23=12
22=13
21=14
20=15
19=16
18=17
17=18
16=19
15=20
14=21
13=22
12=23
11=24
10=25
9=26
8=27
7=28
6=29
5=30
4=31
3=32
2=33
1=34
0=35 seconds have elapsed and a shot clock violation has occured.

Both feet need to be outside the lane. A count discontinues after a shot at goal or if the player in possesion of the ball is making a move at the hoop.

Frrom the NCAA rule book:

Section 9. Three-Second Rule
Art. 1. A player shall not be permitted to have any part of his or her body
remain in the three-second lane for more than three consecutive seconds
while the ball is in control of that player’s team in his or her front court.
a. A team in control of the ball for a throw-in adjacent to a front-court
boundary line may not be called for a three-second violation.
Art. 2. Allowance shall be made for a player who, having been in the threesecond
lane for less than three seconds, dribbles or moves in immediately
to try for field goal.
a. The player shall not pass the ball instead of trying for goal.
 
You are wrong. Read the above post about when there's 34.9 seconds the clock shows 35. When theres 34.9-34.8-34.7 and so on, it shows 35 seconds. If not, then explain to me how the buzzer sounds at the instant the clock hits 0. It's because at .09-.01 it shows 1 second on the clock. Otherwise, by your reasoning, they screw the team out of a second, and in reality a team only has 34 seconds to get a shot off

Here is another math lesson for you today without using tenths since the shot clock doesn't:

A) What is 35-25?

B) Now what is 35-24?

You 9.9999999 seconds to get the ball over half court, so which answer above would create a violation (meaning it took more than 9.99999 seconds) first, A or B?

See how stupid your sounding try to prove your right, just let it go and admit you're wrong, everyone makes mistakes.

You have to have the ball over the half court line within 10 seconds not 10.1 but 10, so which answer above would be correct, A or B?

Actually, based on the NCAA rule, you get 9.999999999999999999999 seconds. Once 10.0 hits, it is a violation.

Maybe that will help Ronco understand.
 
You have to remember spank that these guys don't use the shot clock to time the 10 seconds, they count in thier heads with a visible arm motion. I can also speak from experience that it sometimes is difficult to maintain a count in your head, while trying to get an angle to see whats going on, while trying to anticipate/be ready for a call you might have to make.

I don't know for sure and will check, but I thought that was a rule change because of the discrepancies between not calling 10 seconds when the shot clock would constantly be under 25.
It was a terrible call and storm is completely right, should have been called and is not a judgement call.
 
I think that was what Fran was mad about, not that it was over and back but a 10 second violation and the announcers were just wrong. I know I kept yelling at Ole' Wayne that all 3 points (the ball and both feet) were never across at the same time so it couldn't be over and back but the shot clock showed 25 seconds so therefore it was a 10 second violation. Wayne Larrivee sucks IMO, he called UNI on at least 2 occasions, Northern Illinois.

Wayne Larivee is a terrible basketball announcer.
 
Ronco, using your explanation, when the shot clock reaches 0, there would be .9 seconds left. You are wrong.

When the shot clock reaches 25, 10 seconds have elapsed.
