Bingo. Showing me 7-5-2 was like a light bulb coming on over my head.
Using my own logic "When there is a throw-in, shouldn't we look at the rules that cover throw-ins?."
I can see that I was wrong. Rule 7 is the rule covering a throw-in. Rule 9 is to cover violations. ("Rule 9 Violations and Penalties" "Rule 7 Out of Bounds and the Throw-in")
As you stated, 7-5-2 CLEARLY states "After any violation, as in 9-2 through 10 and 9-13, the official shall place the ball at the disposal of the opponet of the player who committed a violation for a throw-in from the designated out of bounds spot nearest the violation".
It even references 9-2.
It does bring up a question as to why that penalty (section 2) wording is in there. That might be a good topic for another thread.
I change my vote. (where is Chuck? I think I could use that hug now. LOL)
Original situation.
Put 4.6 seconds on the clock
Ball awarded to team B for spot throw-in where A2 caught the ball.
