Had this situation...Team A has a spot throw in on the baseline in their BC out towards the sideline. A1 makes a long pass to A2 at the division line. A2 catches it with one foot in and one foot OOB. I told R to award spot throw in at div line because I interpreted that A2 caused the ball to be OOB. He violently disagreed and ordered ball inbounded on baseline. Besides making me look like an idiot, it gave B and advantage in that there was 1.9 seconds left in the first half and they were able to inbound the ball and make a last second 3. At the half we discussed it. We agreed as to what happened in that A2 caught the in bound pass with one foot in and one foot OOB. He said the ball was never inbounds and had to go to the original spot. I told him my interpretation was that A2 had caused the ball to go OOB and therfore it wasn't a thow in violation. Rule 7-6 supports my interpretation. What is the correct spot of the succeeding throw in and rule reference (NFHS). Thanks in advance.
