Interesting though, in the Maryland-Clemson game B1 touched it not A1  regardless, the designated spot would remain as at the start of the play.
I couldn't find it in the case book, however I made some phone calls and that's what I came up with. |
Can't be...and I'll tell you why....
Throwin restrictions are generally placed on the thrower and the thrower is who violates if they do not meet the requirements of the throwin. If the thrower violates, the defensive team would get the ball. What if the player who was OOB was the defensive team? Does that mean the thrower violated? No. Would you give them the ball? No. You'd give it back to team A. So, what is the violation? Touching the ball while OOB. Where was the violation? Where the ball was touched.
Look at Rule 7, Section 6, Art. 2....where it says the throwin ends when a player OOB touches the ball....sounds like it legally ends.
Next look at Rule 9, Section 5, Art 1 where it says...
"The thrower-in shall not: Fail to pass the ball directly into the playing court so that after it crosses the boundary line, it touches or is legally touched by an inbounds player or when
a player, who is located on the playing court, touches and causes the ball to be out of bounds "
It seems to me that the NCAA doesn't define playing court the same way as the NFHS. If they did, this rule wouldn't make any sense since it would be impossible for a player to touch the ball and cause it to be OOB if they were only inbounds.
So, if a player, who touches the ball causes the ball to be OOB, the throwin both ends and was legally executed by the thrower.
The violation is a basic OOB violation....spot of the violation.
