Happy Leap Day

Here's some random things for a Friday. How about parents that let a 36 year old live with their 16 year old daughter? It happened in England, and here's the STORY

Come on parents, stop trying to be friends, and start being parents. You know I'll hit this in stupid news today at around 11:40. By the way, no Lance Zierlein today. We'll shoot for next week.

Now onto the back court rule that I discussed yesterday. I found the 2006 rules, and I assume that rule won't change over time too much. In Section 28, it states:

"During a dribble from back court to front court, the ball shall be in the front court when both feet of the dribbler and the ball touch the playing court entirely in the front court."

So theoretically, you could dribble for a couple seconds with both feet in the front court and the ball in the back court. But to avoid the violation, you have to bring the ball into the front court before the :10 rule. I think you can even keep dribbling and put a foot back in the back court as long as the ball hasn't crossed. So again, I was right. It's like the NBA. You are not established in a court until both feet and the ball are in said court.

If you want to check it out for yourself, it's Rule 4, section 28 and Rule 9, section 12 of the OFFICIAL RULES
