Rules does not say OOB thrower..
The rule says the thrower shall not do the following. Says nothing in that item that says OOB. Other articles refer to OOB but those cover there particular areas. Since the throw in starts when the ball is at the disposal of the player. When he attempt to throw the ball to the teammate he becomes the thrower. So he is the firsat to touch it inbounds.
The problem is nothing is addressing this particular situation in the rules or case book. We are not getting any consistant answer on how to handle this situation. It should be the same at sub-varsity as in Varsity.
I lean toward a violation, since the player is attempting an illegal throw in. I emailed Peter Webb to see if he can help clear this up.
