A defensive player does not have to be stationary to "take a charge" provided they are in legal guarding position, contact occurs on the torso and movement has not been made towards the player with the ball .............. During the last 2 minutes of the game, following a time-out taken by the team that is entitled to possession of the ball from its backcourt, the throw-in shall be taken from half court opposite the scorer’s table .............. In shooting foul situations, the "act of shooting" doesn't finish until both of the shooter's feet have landed on the floor .............. For the purposes of adjudicating backcourt violation situations, a player dribbling is not considered to have entered the front court until both feet and the ball have made contact with the floor over the centre line .............. A player holding the ball may not do so while closely guarded for 5 seconds .............. The possession arrow does not get reversed until the inbounds pass has been touched in play following jump ball/alternating possession situations. There is an INCORRECT tendency for scorers to reverse the arrow as soon as a jump ball has been called, prior to the inbounds pass being administered ..............
