Throw In

Team A is coming off a time out and has a thrown in under their own basket. They get out of their huddle first and line up in a I formation right in front of the thrower very tight together. Team B now comes on the court and wants to get a player in between each player of Team A. IS Team B entitled to be allowed in between or since Team A is already lined up can they just stay in that formation? IF anyone knows of a rule please let me know, i cant find anything besides around the jump ball area. Thanks

This only applies if they are parallel to the boundary line and they 3 feet or less from the line

Perpendicular or parallel to the end line? Rule 7.6.5 should have your answer.

ART. 5 . . . Teammates shall not occupy adjacent positions which are parallel to and within 3 feet
of the boundary line if an opponent desires one of the positions. The 3-foot restraining line is
sometimes the temporary boundary line as in 1-2-2.

It's a common misconception that B should be allowed in.

What only applies? What is the answer?

No, the defense is not allowed a spot in between.

Reread the rule already posted - "Teammates shall not occupy adjacent positions which are parallel to and within 3 feet of the boundary line if an opponent desires one of the positions" only applies when the line is parallel to the boundary line they are throwing in from.

If they are lined up perpendicular to the throw-in boundary, there is no rule saying they are allowed a spot between them.

"B is allowed in" only applies if the positions are parallel to the boundary line.

The answer is in post 3.

For the first time in my career (only 8 years, but still) this rule popped up.

During a throw-in two teammates lined up front to back, and a defender wanted between them. The defender's coach was yelling at her to "get in there". I stepped in to let my partner know about the "3 foot/parallel" rule, meaning what the teammates wanted was good and the defender was not entitled to get between them. My partner stopped the defender from trying to get between them, and the throw-in was administered.

Along similar lines, a few weeks ago, didn't we have a Forum member state that a defender is allowed to be the player closest to the throwin player no matter who legally gets there first? Didn't another Forum member ask for a citation supporting that rule? What ever became of that?

How did I miss that one? I think we can all guess the answer.
