Fun With Casebook Plays ...
Quote:
floor inbounds, but A1, who is off balance, steps off the court. A1 returns inbounds, secures control of the ball and dribbles. RULING: Legal. A1 did not leave the court voluntarily and did not have control of the ball when he/she did. This situation is similar to one in which A1 makes a try from under the basket and momentum carries A1 off the court. If the try is unsuccessful, A1 may come back onto the court and regain control since A1 did not leave the court voluntarily and did not have control of the ball when he/she did. 7.1.1 SITUATION C: A1 blocks a pass near the sideline and the ball goes into A1’s front court. A1’s momentum carries him/her out of bounds. He/she immediately returns inbounds, secures control of the ball, dribbles, shoots, and scores. RULING: Legal. (4-35-1a; 7-1-2; 9-3) 7.1.1 SITUATION D: A1 jumps from inbounds to retrieve an errant pass near a boundary line. A1 catches the ball while in the air and tosses it back to the court. A1 lands out of bounds and (a) is the first to touch the ball after returning inbounds; (b) returns inbounds and immediately dribbles the ball; or (c) picks up the ball after returning to the court and then begins a dribble. RULING: Legal in (a) and (b). Illegal in (c) as the controlled toss of the ball to the court by A1 constitutes the start of a dribble, dribbling a second time after picking up the ball is an illegal dribble violation. (4-15-5; 4-15-6d; 4-35; 9-5) |
Advantage ...
If a player gains an advantage not intended by rule, then I'm calling a violation when he goes out of bounds.
I've only had one of these in a game. I'm the lead, A1 goes around a low post screen, and in doing so intentionally goes out of bounds, almost running into me. It surprises me, so I say to myself "I'm calling a violation if he does this again". After a foul switch down the other end, we're back with the same team on offense, but with my partner as the lead. A1 again goes around a low post screen, and in doing so intentionally goes out of bounds, almost running into my partner. He calls the violation (with no input from me). The coach requests an explanation. When my partner explains the violation, the coach looks at my partner like he's from Mars. |
