Throw-in hits basket

[Altor]

Team A has a throw-in from under their basket. A1's throw-in hits the bottom of the basket ring and is deflected toward an area of the court where it remains untouched inbounds. The administering official stops play, points to the ring, and signals for a Team B throw-in at the original spot. Correct procedure?

Correct procedure for a violation? Sure.

Correct ruling? Hmmmmmm

[BigCat]

No. Just let the ball sit there...That would have been the thing to do...

It's a violation for the throw-in to ENTER the basket, but not to HIT the basket.

How do I know? I kicked it my first year. The coach questioned it, but didn't really know either. I looked it up in the locker room after the game and apologized to the coach.

9-2-7: Throwin: The thrown ball shall not enter the basket before it touches or
is touched by another player.

9-4: A player shall not travel with the ball, as in 4-44, intentionally kick it, as in
4-29, strike it with the fist or cause it to enter and pass through the basket
from below.

Similar question, when you have a partner kick a call like this what are your options? I had a very similar play earlier this year where an inbounds pass hits under the backboard and carried into the court. Partner blows dead, calls it out of bounds and gives it to the other team. No one in the gym seemed to know or care. I knew that was not the right call. So what are my options? And what should I do?

I can tell you what I did; I did nothing for fear of showing up my partner. This happened in the first quarter so I even forgot to discuss in the locker room post game even though I made a mental note to do so.

You can always just ignore it and possibly discuss at halftime, or after the game, or ...

Immediate private on court conversation.

You: "What did you see on that?"
Partner: "Ball hit the back of the backboard. Out of bounds violation".
You: "Good call".
Play on.

You: ""What did you see on that?"
Partner: "Ball hit the bottom of the backboard. Out of bounds violation".
You: "Are you sure about that interpretation?"
Partner: "Yes"
Play on.
Possible discussion at halftime, or after the game.

You: ""What did you see on that?"
Partner: "Ball hit the bottom of the backboard. Out of bounds violation".
You: "Are you sure about that interpretation?"
Partner: "Not really"
You: "Only the back and supports are out of bounds, front, sides, top, and bottom are inbounds."
Partner: "Thanks. Inadvertent whistle. New throwin".
Play on.

You: ""What did you see on that?"
Partner: "Ball hit the bottom of the backboard. Out of bounds violation".
You: "Are you sure about that interpretation?"
Partner: "Yes. Screw you. Don't mess with my calls."
Play on.
File partner's name in memory to not offer help unless it's game breaker.

It's a rules issue. I'm at least getting together to see what my partner has. depending on the partner and level, "getting together" might be as simple as a questioning look, or it might be going right up to him/her. And, it might just be asking, and it might be "strongly suggesting" that we change it.
