Team A scores a basket. Team B takes the ball out of bounds for a throw in. B1 is unable to complete the throw so he asks for a time out to a void a 5 second violtion.

Can Team B run the end line on the subsequent throw in?

My understanding is that the subsequent throw in is not after a basket but after a requested time out. The thrown in should be from a designated spot on the endline.

This situation is different from a requested time out immediately after a basket when the
throw in procedure has not started. In that case, since the thrown in had not started and
either team could request a time out, Team B could still run the end line on the subsequent throw in.

I thing 6.5 page 44 in the Federation case book covers this matter.

Comment: Running the end line is a advantage given by rule after a basket not after a time out. Why penalize good defence and reward poor offence? B1 had an oppoertunity to run the endline and get the ball in play.
They lose that opportunity by calling a time out while Team B was in possession of the ball out of bounds. Rule 7:5

Right or Wrong??
