BktBallRef and DownTownTonyBrown lets get back to the original play, which is a resuming play situation.
|
Okay, let's do.
Quote:
|
Team A is to make a designated spot throw-in after a team timeout.
|
From the case play:
Immediately following a goal or free throw by Team A,
or following a time-out in this situation,...
The boldface indicates that the case play can also be used as a resuming play procedure.

The administering official sounds his whistle, indicates both verbally and visually. There is not mistaking that Team A is to make the throw-in. At the appropriate time the administering official places the ball on the floor at the spot of the designated spot throw-in and starts a five second count. Why?
|
Is there any reason to assume that the official in the case play didn't do the same thing? No, there isn't.

By rule the ball is at the disposal of Team A for a throw-in. Team A's throw-in has started. B1 cannot break the plane of the boundary line.
|
No different than the case play.

If B1 does she has commited a infraction of the rules regarding throw-ins. It does not matter if B1 is confused. That fact that B1 is confused is her problem and is of no concern to the administering official.

From the case play.
Comment: If there is no doubt the throw-in was a result of confusion, especially after a time-out, the entire procedure would be followed except no technical foul would be charged.
I don't see how the case play could be any clearer. In the play posted, there was a violation prior to the TO. In the case play, there was a made FG or Ft prior to the TO. It doesn';t matter what heppened prior to the TO, in either case. It doesn't matter whether it's a spot throw-in or not. That case play still applies.

This is not a mistake by the officials.

This we agree on. That's why the situation is correctable. This is not an official's mistake.
But you, on the other hand, are mistaken. The fact that a made FG or FT occurred in the case play does not change the ruling. Do you have a case play to back up your argument?
I bet not. In fact, I know you don't.
