You are not quite understanding the case. He throws it to himself while having OOB status. There is no violation in this. It would be a violation if they threw the ball, stepped IB, and was the first to touch the ball.

Also, this is not 100% accurate. (it is legal to throw the ball to a player out of bounds. A violation? Yes, but still legal - rule 9-2 Art 2)



How about this one:

After made basket Team B, ball bounces near corner near official. A1, in a hurry and OOB, grabs ball and throws it to nearby IB teammate. The ball strikes the official on the arm and caroms back to A1 who is still OOB. A1 then passes to A2 who is IB. Legal?
