9.2.2 SITUATION D: A1 dribbles the ball on floor on the out-of-bounds area before making a throw-in. RULING: Legal, a player may bounce the ball on the out-of-bounds area prior to making a throw-in. |
Extra bit of info.
Can a player bounce pass to another player OOB after a made basket?
This is one that we batted around here for a few days, the answer was surprizing.
NO. The pass must be a direct pass to the teammate also OOB, not a bounce pass. This is from the NFHS, and our State R.I.
However, a player dribbling OOB is not a violation.
In case you all wanted to know.
