basketball inbounds?

[BryanV21]

A1 holds the ball over the baseline and B1 slaps the ball out of his hand and then grabs it.

1. Legal
2. Throw in ends, and the arrow now belongs to Team B. Right?

Yes, if the original throw-in was an AP throw-in.

Just how tall is A1 if s/he can hold the ball over the baseline? (Note: This is NOT an invitation for BillyManc to post a picture of stretch armstrong or Inspector Gadget)

What does over the line mean in terms of defenders being able to touch the ball being held by the thrower? Is it where the hand/ball contact takes place that matters? Just curious.

If the contact takes place on the inbounds side of the boundary plane, it's legal; if the contact is on the out-of-bounds side of the plane, it's illegal.

Case Play 7.6.4A "...A1 holds the ball through the plane of the end line..."

I interpret this to mean that ALL of the ball must over the in-bounds area of the court, for it to be legally touched by a defender.

Don't read it that way. That is a "case" of what could be legal. It doesn't intend to say the entire ball must be over the line.

The defender can't reach through the line, that's it. If they hit/touch the ball without doing so, it is legal.

Thanks for that clarification, very helpful!

In the smack and grab situation described here, at what point exactly would the throw in end? When B1 possesses the ball? When B1 knocks it loose? As soon as B1 is in contact with the ball and A1 isn't?

I assume it's that last option.

Not covered, so use 2-3.

I'm going with "when the loose ball is next touched" (which is mostly your last option)
