A3 in on the endline in the frontcourt for a spot throw. B2 is standing with his back to A3, inbounds. A3 is given the ball for the throw-in and throws the ball off of B2's back, steps inbounds, catches the ball before the ball hits the floor, takes one dribble and shots a lay-up for a basket. Is this legal?
Did you have reason to think it wasn't legal?
Just an unusual looking play when it happened. I thought it was perfectly legal too. The defender was stunned and I wonder if it wasn't done intentionally by the throw-in team as a way of confusing the other team into inaction. hmmmmm.
