POI and Referee Magazine case play
This month's RM the final basketball case play involves a double foul during a long pass. Obviously the resumption is from POI. However, they make this statement: A ball that is in flight retains the same location as when it was last in contact with a player. Since the ball was in flight when the double foul occurred, the point of interruption is considered to b at the location where A1 threw the ball. Team A shall have a throw-in team A's backcourt nearest the A1's location.
My understanding has always been that the throw-in is from the spot OOB nearest where the ball was when the double foul occurred. In the case of a long pass, that might be quite a distance from the thrower.
Am I wrong? Or is this another RM gaffe?
