So if the throwin doesn't touch anything except the wall, the clock should start? Or what if it hits a coach? Or a fan? Or an out of bounds official? Why does hitting a player out of bounds make the starting, or not starting, of the clock any different?
7-1-2: The ball is out of bounds:
a. When it touches or is touched by:
1. A player who is out of bounds.
2. Any other person, the floor, or any object on or outside a boundary.
3. The supports or back of the backboard.
4. The ceiling, overhead equipment or supports.
5-9-4: If play is resumed by a throw-in, the clock shall be started when the
ball touches, or is legally touched by, a player on the court after it is released by
the thrower.
