here is the situation that I need direction on
A1 has the ball at a designated spot for a throw in. B1 is standing in front of A1. A1 release the ball in an upward direction. B1 jumps in the air. B1 bats the ball downwards . In so doing so
his arms and upper body cross the plane. Ball lands in A1's waiting hands who is still OOB. B1 lands (IB)without touching A1.
Officials after some discussion call A "T" on B1.
Was the call correct? I did not think so for the following reasons :
1) Technical foul: B1 did not try to dislodge the ball from A1 (9.2.10.penalty3)
2) Intentional foul : B1 did not hit A1 No foul (9.2.10. penalties 4)
3) Out of bound : on A1 i.e. team B's ball; (9.3.2???)
4) Warning plane violation Does not a released ball void this? According to 9.2.10 "the opponent of the thrower shall not have any part of his/her person ... ...until the ball is released"
5) Incomplete throw in hence ball back to A1 (4.42.5 a(B1 left the inbound court) 4.42.5.b (if b1 is out of bounds )
6)?
I do think the call was wrong (no warning had been issued) but since I do not know what the correct answer is ....?
Sorry i cannot offer a prize for the correct answer
