Inbounder...

[Refsmitty]

Never had this one happen - feel about how I handled in retrospect.

Sit - A inbounding after violation - going long so I bounce the ball to the inbounder... he catches so I turn away to watch screens etc (2 man)

Next thing I know the ball is rolling out of bounds on the sideline - he dropped it and it rolled out.

I blow and give the ball to the other team... I am thinking I should have reset and given the ball back to the inbounder...

Yes I would have given him the ball. Thats why we hand the ball on the baseline. Either way you have plenty of time to make sure the kid gets the pass before you need to watch the defense.

Since the inbounder can violate and everyone is looking at him, I would avoid losing sight of him until the throw in is complete.

If he caught it and you saw him catch it...as opposed to fumbling your pass...if he loses control afterwards and ball rolls away it is a violation. Assuming no one around him who knocked it away. Is a casebook play on it. Again, if you know he caught it and had control of it, and your confident it wasn't knocked away by opponent, fact you didnt see why it was rolling doesn't matter. Ideally you would know.

Perhaps you should take a position where you can see the thrower while seeing the other players at the same time. There may be cases where that is difficult but if you move both away from the thrower and away from the endline, you can have an angle on both most of the time.

Going long, there's nothing wrong with bouncing. I don't do it when there's pressure, however.

Agreed. Primary responsibility is the thrower-in.

Also need to pre-game that the New Lead needs position himself to help in the backcourt when there is pressure.

I almost always bounce it, particularly when there is pressure. That way I can see everything right away, before the ball even gets to the thrower, rather than having to back up so I can see.

We're told to bounce the ball to the player on an endline throw-in from the backcourt (aka "going towards the other end"), and on the sideline. Only hand the ball to the player on an endline throw-in under their own basket (aka "staying here").

The manual doesn't require that, however.

I never bothered to check up on that, just accepted it and moved on. Thanks.

I find it awkward to bounce on the endline in many situations. Just saying it's my choice.

The manual does require 1/2 of that statement. On an end line throw in the lead shall hand the ball to the thrower when remaining in the front court.

We're talking about backcourt end line throw-ins.

As a whole the statement is not true.

He caught it (from your description), so anything that happens after that is on him. I think you made the right call.

I also agree with those who say to get a little wider so you can see everyone who needs watching.
