You can bounce the ball to yourself, though.

And the reason for Bob's answer is that the dribbling and traveling rules don't apply during a throw-in. See the Rules Fundamentals near the back of the book.

Interesting. I always interpreted that to mean the limitations on dribbling don't apply....that a player isn't required to do so legally. But, that it was still a dribble when a player is bouncing the ball but can't commit a dribbling (or traveling) violation.

It is just semantics and we get to the same spot either way, but I've just thought about it differently.

Given the relatively recent change in the definition of PC, you are probably right that it doesn't matter.

Before that, though, a player couldn't dribble while OOB (because s/he didn't have PC).

The title of this thread bothers me, since you wouldn't have an throw-in from inbounds.
