Throw in case

[Amesman]

At the very least this is a 5-second violation of not having completed a throw-in properly after having the ball at one's disposal (not that I've ever called it that way).

Years ago, the argument went round and round on which of three options was best.
1. Immediate violation.
2. Start/continue the 5 second count and call the violation when you get to 5.
3. Blow the whistle and tell them to bring it in right.

3 is really only an option for the games where the players still look up to their parents.

1 and 2 created a pretty good debate here until the NFHS issued the case play and settled the debate. The idea is to kill the play early; otherwise you risk having to call a foul or a travel or something while they're bringing the ball up.

Plus, once you start the count, the player holding the ball is a thrower and there's a strong case that any contact with him should be an intentional foul.

I had this happen twice on the same team in a boys varsity game earlier this season as I was the new Trail after a made basket. They just grabbed it and got in a hurry and had one foot that never got out of bounds each time. I killed it each time and called the violation and no one said a word.

I'm not sure if you phrased that correctly, but the player does not need to have both feet touch the floor OOB. The player can have one foot touch OOB, as long as the other foot is NOT touching inbounds (it can be ion the air).

I'm with bob on this. Why was this a violation?

I'm hoping he meant one foot never got OoBs.

We all know that's what he meant. Players do that little pirouette on one foot OOB all the time....and it's nothing.
