Do you have a rules citation that will back up your hypothesis above, Mark, that you can move the throw-in up the floor?
Btw, exactly what throw-in pass are you talking about. You stated in your initial post above-
"the instant that A2 caught the ball, the game horn sounded...". You didn't say that A2 caught the ball
before the horn sounded. Horn = dead ball, Mark. Therefore A2 caught a dead ball. There never was a completed throw-in pass, iow. How can you move the ball up the floor when team A never did have possession up the floor?

Jurassic Referee: The first mistake in your post above is when you stated that A2 caught a dead ball. One of the fundamentals of basketball is that the horn does not cause the ball to become dead (see NFHS R6-S7; please do not attempt to invoke R6-S7-A6, because this Article does not apply when the game clock is started incorrectly). The game clock was incorrectly started; the fact that the game was started too soon does not negate A1 throw-in. A2 did in fact catch a live ball.
[/B][/QUOTE]1) You can not now, nor will you ever be able to post a rule or casebook play that would justify allowing that throw-in to occur and then put 1 second back on the clock also.
2) Your mistake in the post above is that you think that your
opinion should supersede written rules.Would you please explain to me exactly why I can't cite a plainly written rule --i.e. R6-7-6-- when that rule happens to point out the fallacy of your hypothesis? Can you cite anything from the rulebook or casebook that would negate this rule? All I see above is
yousaying that this rule doesn't apply. You can't just say that a rule doesn't apply, Mark, just because that rule happens to blow your whole little fantasy out of the water. How about rule 5-6, Mark? That one says that a quarter ends when the signal sounds indicating that time has expired. Do we have to ignore that one also?
If you're going to post something and claim that it is a fact, you have to be able to back up your claim with rules citations. You can't do that in this situation, plain and simple!
