This was in a U15 boys game. Black just scored on Red. Black player takes the ball out and inbounds a long (and pretty good) pass 3/4 length of the court to his team mate who scores an uncontested layup on his own basket. The next thing was the ball goes out of bounds for the Black team throw in under there basket but because all the players are confused now no one throws the ball in and black gets called for a 5 second violation.

OK, I read this different than the rest of you."Black just scored on Red.". So black scored in their own basket. Now, "Black player takes the ball out and inbounds a long (and pretty good) pass 3/4 length of the court to his team mate who scores an uncontested layup on his own basket.". This again says Black's "OWN BASKET". So the teammate drives back to his own basket and score again, i.e. 3/4 length back to his own basket. Now, if we continue to play then Red should have the throwin. "The next thing was the ball goes out of bounds for the Black team throw in under there basket but because all the players are confused now no one throws the ball in and black gets called for a 5 second violation.". Again, rapian, is saying the ball is at Black's end of the court. So, the teammate had to come back 3/4 length to score. So, JAdams is correct on not being able "cite" black for a 5sec. throwin violation.
