So, using this logic, after a made basket, player bounce passes the ball to another player out of bounds on the end line. (Which is a legal play, if you take the bouncing out of it.) So you call a violation because the ball made contact with out of bounds?
Other situation: Some schools have TONS of room off of the court. Rule says the player can be as far away from the out of bounds line, as long as they're in their approx. designated spot lane. If they bounce pass it in, but the bounce occurs out of bounds, you're going to call this a violation?
Let's be even more ridiculous: Player dribbles (bounces) the ball out of bounds once before making the throw-in. Violation?
Isn't the real intent of the rule being an in-bounds pass that goes out of bounds untouched?
