Essentially, I interpret the "location" of the non-designated-spot throw-in to be bound by the sidelines extended. It says "outside the endline" and "along the endline". I don't believe the endline extended is along the endline. Once the ball goes beyond the painted endline, it is beyond the permitted pass allowed.
In case I'm wrong....I'm certainly not blowing the whistle for a do-over as some have suggested. It's either a violation (as I suggest) or the count continues. |

Looking back at the original description of this play, I can't quite tell what was happening. Depending on what happend next, after what Nevadaref described, either call could make sense. He doesn't say whether there was some good defense in the key, waiting to intercept the pass. Or whether A2 stepped back in bounds and received the pass, or whether he stayed out of bounds and received the pass, or what. Hey, Nevada, fill us in, will ya?

The reason the description of the plays left off where they did is that it was at that point that I blew the whistle in each case. The calls were: Play #1 Technical foul on the teammate of the thrower for leaving the court. I believe that this was the proper call since he ran OOB almost the entire width of the court. When I reported the T his coach tried to say that he was forced OOB, to which I responded, "Then why did he run all the way across the gym OOB?" He put his hands on his head, said, "I don't know," rather sheepishly and sat down. After the game I chatted with my partner about the play and told him that I probably could have gotten away with calling a violation for having more than one player OOB during a designated-spot throw-in, but I believed that that call would not have been appropriate for what this player did. I think that the violation is for cases when a teammate steps out next to the thrower and he hands him the ball or when the team runs an endline pass play not after a goal is scored. For me it is a difference between simply stepping OOB and standing there or running a fair distance OOB. Play #2 Five second violation. I did what Chuck said, and just kept counting. When I reached five the kid had chased down the ball, but still hadn't released it on a throw-in pass. After studying the rules due to our last discussion on this, I decided that no rule prohibits the ball from hitting a wall, bleacher, fan, or cheerleader, while teammates are passing OOB. Most of the articles that are in 9-2 don't apply because they are written for either a throw-in pass, which this is not, or a designated-spot throw-in. For example, art.1 is about leaving the designated-spot, and we know that a player certainly can do this after a goal, since he could set the ball down OOB run onto the court and then come back and pick it up again or have a teammate come and get it. And art.2 is clearly talking about a throw-in pass, not a pass between teammates who are OOB. The points raised by Camron Rust, and Hawks Coach, etc., are good and I handle them this way: the rules say the throw-in must be made from any point outside the endline. (7-5-7) However, there is no requirement that the ball or a player must remain behind the endline (between the sidelines) prior to the throw-in pass being made. So if a team chucks the ball into the tenth row, it can go get it, but must bring the ball back to any point outside the endline before making the throw-in pass. They just can't pass it in from up there. Also, I believe that if a player runs into the stands who is not chasing down the ball, but just running up there for a pass or as a decoy, he should be hit with a T for leaving the playing court. I hope that others learned from thinking about these plays, even if they decide not to call them as I do. The point is to be prepared for them. PS Black scored after the five second violation and forced overtime, and then White eventually won by two. |

If you think the coach already knew the T rule, I'd call my assigner or commissioner after the game and let them decide what to do from there. |

Dan,
Unfortunately, you are making the same logical argument as those who say that a defender has committed a violation as soon as he breaks the OOB plane on a throw-in and therefore cannot be penalized with a T for fouling the thrower or for slapping the ball while the thrower still has it. The logic of this argument has not been accepted by the NFHS and they wrote a couple of casebook plays to say just that. See 10.3.12 Situations A,B,and C on page 77 of the 2002-2003 casebook. Sorry that I don't have the new one yet, so I can't cite the page in it, but we both know the play rulings won't change. In short, you penalize what the player does in addition to crossing the OOB plane. |

I think it would be very dangerous territory to officiate the games based on what rules we think the players and coaches are aware of and which they are not. They are all written in the book, and they have a responsibility to know them. I believe that the only right way to call the game is to properly enforce the penalties that are given for specified actions. If I only give a warning or a violation when a T is justified, then I am being unfair to the opposing team. Remember this was a 12th grade boys tournament game, not some 3rd grade rec league, and the game was close with only a couple of minutes remaining when I had to make the call. Also, I noticed that you didn't mention the ignorant fans, but we can probably agree that we don't care one bit about what they know or don't know. |

This thread has now spilled into another one, so to avoid having the same conversation going on in two different places, I'm going to use some of Nevada's comments from the other thread in this post. Nevada makes the same claim there that he makes to Dan in the following quote:

So then in our play, if the offensive player steps OOB to receive the pass or to avoid a defender, are you going to wait 3 or 4 seconds to see if he runs the endline? No. In your casebook citations, it would be nearly impossible to call the violation before the foul takes place. Therefore, you call the foul. It's all part of the same action. So those cases do not apply to the situation we're discussing. If you can call the violation before the foul, then do it. But if you can't, then you call the foul. In the case we're discussing, the violation clearly happened before the player had a chance to "delay" his return to the floor. So call the violation. Quote:
Again, I don't think that's quite the right way to think about it. You penalize the player's action. If the action included touching the ball, fine. But if the action is merely crossing the plane, then penalize only that. Quote:

In case you haven't noticed, Nevada, nobody agrees with the T in this situation. Take the hint

Confused !@#$
This may be the right thread or the wrong thread, I can't keep it straight anymore. I think you have to go to the preface of the rule book for this one. Just because it is not in the rules, doesn't necessarily make it legal. Under "The Intent and Purpose of the Rules" heading, it states "A player or a team should not be permitted an advantage which is not intended by a rule. Neither should play be permitted to develop which may lead to placing a player at a disadvantage not intended by rule".
Not that it would ever happen, but, someone running up the bleachers to the 10th row is an advantage. In my opinion, giving Team A a do-over because of a bad pass along the endline is also giving them and advantage. Once the ball is at their disposal I'm counting. If I get to five before it is released on a pass onto the court, I've got a violation. If they throw it along the endline and the player fumbles it and it bounces around, I'm not stopping my count. I believe that allowing a do-over gives an advantage not intended by rule. The ball is live and I see no reason to extend them a "second chance". Really this happens so rarely anymore, I don't understand why we are talking about all these "what if's" but I guess that's what we do when we don't have games to work and worry about other things.
