My use of the word "end line" seems to be confusing readers, so once again, for those who haven't read all the way back to the start of the letters: All I meant was that if the ball goes over the 10-second line, it's a backcourt violation if the offense recovers it, regardless of who touched it last. If the defense touches it first, it's a live ball. If the offense touches it first, it's a backcourt violation. The only thing that would change is the rule "that's not a backcourt violation because the defense touched it last" would go away.
nhogan: Any thoughts? Should a team be allowed to opt-out of shooting free throws in a bonus situation, if they'd prefer the chance to inbound?
I'm all for anything that reduces free throws, so yes. My actual solution, stunning in its elegance and brilliance, is to eliminate free throws.
