To start the half -- if the team is still in the locker room, count for a minute and then issue a T. If the team is at the bench, but doesn't come on the court, use ROP.

Im thinking foul and throwin. NO FTs. I said thrower but meant thrower inner…(the rule uses the term thrower for player making the throw in.)

While you do put the ball on the floor, this is NOT the ROP procedure.

4-38 is entitled "Resumption of play procedure" and says in part "It is used when a throw in team DOESNT make a thrower available OR following a timeout or intermission."

When we go to rule 7 it simply says it's used between intermission or after timeout. That doesn't match the definition. I would submit that Rule 7 should mirror rule 4-38. If I call travel on A ball is dead. If B doesn't come to the throw in spot I put it on floor and start counting(live ball) . That is resuming play. It's just bad question.

Probably a bigger point here is avoid using the ROP by being vocal etc. Get them out of the huddle or a player to the throw in spot.

I believe it is. It fits the definition precisely.

This is correct. Directly from the Case Book.

Camron is right. About five years ago the NFHS made an editorial change to include this action as part of the ROP procedure. Bob's thinking predates that change.
