SITUATION 9: In the last minute of play in the fourth quarter, Team A scores a field goal to tie the game. B1, standing under the basket after the score, secures the ball and begins heading to the end line for the ensuing throw-in. A1 requests and is granted a time-out.
RULING: Legal Procedure. Team A may request and be granted a time-out until the ensuing throw-in begins. The throw-in does not begin until B1 has the ball at his/her disposal and the official begins the throw-in count. |
This is another example, in my opinion, of an interp which is not consistent with the written rule.
4-4-7d: A ball is at the disposal of a player when it is available to a player after a goal.
4-42-3: The throw-in and throw-in count begins when the ball is at the disposal of a player of the team entitled to it.
