The following question was sent to John Lozano, CBOA Instructional
Coordinator, regarding the following play:

Rule 9-3-3

Situation: Player A1 in the front court dribbles down the left
sideline and as he gets to the baselinehe goes airborne (a) over in bounds
territory and makes a pass to player A2 in the far right corner, (b)over
out of bounds territory and makes a pass to player A2 in thr far right
corner. In both cases A1 lands out of boumds.

Question Does it matter if A1 is very skillful and has devolped a play
(team practice play) where A1 jumps over out of bounds territory (on
purpose) where he can't be well guarded and passes the ball after which
A1 lands out of bounds

Ruling Rule 9-3-3 does not apply in this case since Player A1 has
the ball. This rule is not intended to penalize momentum
