Our state is interpreting that Situation C is a spot-throw in rather than a endline run throw-in, not because hitting the ball out of bounds is a violation, but rather because the ball was legally touched and then went out of bounds so team B did NOT commit a violation.

So in NW Washington, we will still let team A have endline run privileges if a foul or violation occurs AFTER the throw-in and the ensuing throw-in takes place once again on the endline.

Z, here's a coupla things outa the rule and case books of 2001/02, when R7-5-7 was implemented:

1) 2001/02 Rule Book-- From the "Basketball Rule Changes" -"Permits a team to run the end line on a throw-in when the scoring team, immediately following a made basket or during the ensuing throw-in, commits either a violation or foul". From the "Comments on Revisions"-- "To prohibit the team that just scored from gaining an advantage, this change permits a team to run the end line on a throw-in when either a foul or a violation is committed by the scoring team immediately following a made basket or on the ensuing throw-in". The rule quite explicitly only applies "during" or "on" the throw-in, not "after" the throw-in ends.

Of course, as per R4-41-5, the throw-in ends when the passed ball touches, or is touched by, anyone in-bounds player other than the thrower.
