Quarter Throw-in Spot

Why do you want them 1 step into the FC, for what purpose?

So you NEVER administer with a bounce on any throw-in?

I bounce wherever the manual allows us to. Definitely on a midcourt throw-in so I can get a few steps into the BC.

Same here.

I was just asking KansasRef if he ever does it ... because it sounds like he never does.

*Attended a clinic this 3 summers ago where clinician was telling us to hand off the ball to throw-in player--clinician had reported on seeing players fumble bumble the ball. I have seen other refs bounce the ball to sideline thrower and I've seen other refs hand it off, and I've read in the NFHS manual that a bounce pass to thrower on sideline is suggested--but not required procedure. Alas, this seems like each refs preference on what to do.

But what about that thing where you have the thrower in the front court instead of straddling the division line?

I ALWAYS hand the ball when under the baseline, and bounce when on the sideline.

If the clinician tells you to do it, do it during the clinic and for any games where he or she has any control over your schedule. Now that I've stated the obvious.

I honestly can't remember a player above grade school fumbling a throw-in bounce from me. If they're not paying attention to the point where they are going to fumble a soft bounce pass, they're nearly as likely to fumble the hand-off.

I'm definitely old fashioned, having officiated for thirty-five years.

With rare exceptions, the only time that one will see me bounce the ball to an inbounding player is on a run-the-back-endline throwin.

If I believe that bouncing the ball to the inbounder will help me to better see an anticipated play, I will bounce it, but this will be few times, and far between.

I'm so used to doing it the old way that, as the lead, in a two person game, I will hesitate to bounce the ball to an inbounder on a sideline throwin below the free throw line extended.

I doubt that there is anyone on this Forum that bounces the ball less than me. I know that I'm in the minority, and I probably should be bouncing more, but it's hard to teach an old dog new tricks.

What does IAABO tell you to do?

All frontcourt endline throwins must be handed to the inbounder.

All other throwins are optional, it's up to the official to decide whether to hand the ball, or bounce the ball, to the inbounder, depending on the circumstances.

If this had a "Like" button, I would not click on it.

I have the Thrower straddle the Division Line extended and before handing him or her the ball, I tell him or her to click his or her heels together three times and say: "There's no place like home. There's no place like home. There's no place like home." And I think of Mom every time, .
