Anyways the Coach asked after a made basket his team get the ball and perceeds to inbound the ball. His player takes one foot out of bounds and lifts the other foot up off the court. His player then attempts to make a pass in bounds and notices the other team pressing while still holding the ball the player puts the second foot down in bounds and then takes it back out of bounds to make a pass.
I gave him my answer that the player committed a violation by placing the foot in bounds and we would give the ball to the opposing team. His response was that the player never established that foot out of bounds and that they would be able to still continue the throw-in.
I'm fairly confident that this is a violation however like I stated I'm not sure where or what rule would back up my statement.

I know you're just the messenger so don't take this personally.
But what brilliant mind thought up this logic? On one hand he's saying if A1 had released the throw-in pass it would be legal b/c he had one foot OOB and the other in the air.
But on the other hand if A1 put his 2nd foot down it shouldn't be a violation b/c A1 didn't establish himself OOB.
Well, if he never established himself OOB than how would the throw-in have been legal if he had released the pass?
Hope this coach isn't a science or math teacher.
