Dribbling during a Throw In

Adam

Yeah, I remember some bone head calls I made early. I insisted, in about my 4th game, that any player can shoot free throws for an injured shooter? My partner gave in, and I looked it up later to learn I was wrong! 😮

My first post on this forum elicited a Green Eggs and Ham response.

As a new official I did not now this. I thought if you stepped on the OOB line, it was a violation. Is this true?

If you step on the out of bounds line, then you're out of bounds. Aren't you supposed to be out of bounds to make a throw-in? 😉

What if the OOB "line" is 3' wide? 6' wide? Goes all the way to the wall?

I had this happen in a game... it was just one bounce, and I think it was more of a loss of control thing. I let it go. Looks like I was right.

As long as the bounce is completely out of bounds, it doesn't matter if it's "controlled" or not. 😉

In the Ancient Days, if the boundary line was only two inches wide, it was a violation for the thrower to step on the boundary line.

Are you serious?

I can never remember it ever to be a violation for a thrower to step on a boundary line.

I just asked Dr. Naismith (one of the voices who live in my head) and he said, "Nu-uh, eh?". I think that means no in Canadian.

I think when MTD said "Ancient" he meant pre-Jurassic. He's got years and years of rule books you know, all up there in that great big huge attic.

Pre-Jurassic better mean close to 50 years then.

Mark is post-Jurassic.

Pre Jurassic is Triassic.

Post Jurassic is Cretaceous.
