Out of bounds ruling?
Was playing a pick up game and came across a situation where there were differing views on the play. Hoping someone here can set me straight.
I ran to save a ball from going out of bounds at was successful at tossing it back in before going out of bounds. The ball bounced off a member of the other team and back in to my hands while I was still out of bounds. Who's ball should it be? I believe in the NBA, that it would be considered the other teams ball since it touched me last... even though I was out of bounds. In the NCAA and high school ball, it's the opposite call, right? The ball should go to my team since the opposing team knocked it out regardless of whether I was there. Help!?! |
You're overthinking it. The ball wasn't OOB until it touched you...because you were OOB. You caused it to be out. So it's the other team's ball. If it had touched the floor OOB first, that would be a different story.
There is no difference to this ruling in any rule set in the world. However, thank you for posting something about an actual play. It has been a while. I hate the off-season. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

It always amazes me that some vestige of this ancient rule, in one form, or another, hangs around even though the rule changed over thirty years ago. |

That frankly doesn't make much sense as an opponent should not be out of bounds on an inbound play. (Are you sure you aren't crossing this with the ball touching an out of bounds teammate, which would be a violation on the inbounder for not throwing the ball into play?) |
