A2, airborne from his frontcourt to backcourt, receives the inbounds pass, throws the inbounds pass to teammate A3, who is in the backcourt. I know this is a violation because the exceptions listed do not apply when he throws the pass to the teammate.
My question- where is this play specifically addressed in the rule or casebook? I couldn't find it in this or last years but do recall seeing it in the past (and answering it correctly) on past exams in addition to this years exam. Is it in older books? Thanks.
It is implied in 2003-2004 comic book. 9-9-3 p64: "...provision ...only to the player who secures control while airborne.

I've tried to research it but I don't get it. In the original situation, A2 receives the inbound pass implying that A1 is effecting the throw-in. As there is no team or player control during a throw-in (Fund 2), I don't understand why the subsequent pass to A3 is a violation. Even if A2 intercepts the throw-in pass, I don't understand the violation. Probably because I can't find the exceptions referred to above ("....because the exceptions listed...."). I also can't find the Rule reference/basis for the 2004-2005 Simplified/Illustrated comment in 9-9-3: ".... provision is provided only to the defensive team and only to the player who secures control while airborne." Other than feeling like an abject rules dude failure, I'm having a good day.
