Why not?

4-38: The resumption-of-play procedure is used to prevent delay in putting the ball in play when a throw-in team does not make a thrower available OR following a time-out or intermission (unless either team is not on the court to start the second half) as in 7-5-1 and 8-1-2. The procedure results in a violation instead of a technical foul for initial delay in specific situations.

Isn't the red highlighted above an example of an independent clause, a group of words that contains both a subject and a predicate that expresses a complete thought and can stand alone as a sentence.

(My high school English teacher, Mr. Baumgartner, would be so proud if me.)
