???? No bounce with no pressure???
I don't have this years mechanics manual but I'm looking at the NFHS 2001-2003 Manual
220 starts out "The administering official shall hand or BOUNCE the ball to the thrower... When adminstering throw-ins on the side line, a bounce is recommended. When administering throw-ins on the end line and remaining in the front court, handing the ball to the thrower is recommended. (This last line suggests to me that if you are not staying in the frontcourt, a bounce is okay.)
Diagrams 17, 18, 19, & 21 all show opportunities for making a bounce pass.
Nowhere does the manual show bouncing the pass across the key but in my opinion (and it appears to be my opinion only)if you are in the backcourt, there is no pressure by the defense, your partner is on the other side of the court boxing in, and the thrower is across the key... who cares? Bounce him the ball and get going.
