BI on Throw in

[Stillblind]

Phoenix Suns score on a throw in with .9 seconds remaining last night. I thought the NBA rule was the same as NFHS?? That is offensive BI in a High Schoo game.
Thoughts?

I wouldn’t be surprised if the NBE rules permit the offense to reach into the cylinder to contact the ball on an inbounds pass. This isn’t real basketball. It’s an entertainment show which believes that offense equates to money and sales.

I went and watched the highlight on ESPN. You are correct that this is illegal under NFHS rules.

NFHS 4-6-2: Basket interference occurs when a *player* (offense or defense)...Touches the ball while any part of the ball is within the imaginary cylinder which has the basket ring as its lower base.

Case Book 9.11.2 SITUATION C applies, but since this is offensive basket interference, no points may be scored:

"Since it is a violation for thrower A1 to throw the ball directly into the basket from out of bounds, what happens if B1 touches the throw-in pass while the ball is in the cylinder above A’s basket?

B1 is charged with basket interference and a two-point goal is scored. Team B is awarded the ball for a throw-in anywhere along the end lines as after a scored goal except the official shall place the ball at the disposal of a player of Team B for a throw-in from any point outside the end line. (4-6)"

Either team is allowed to contact the ball. The announcers explained that rather clearly before they even started showing replays.

It's a rules difference, just like FIBA allows the ball to be taken off the rim. Guess international basketball isn't real either.

Just a reminder to high school centric officials.

Offensive and defensive basket interference can be called on a throwin.

Offensive and defensive goaltending can't be called on a throwin because the throwin is not a legal try.

It's perfectly legal for any player on the court to touch a throwin ball while it's on its downward flight, entirely above the basket ring level, outside the imaginary cylinder above the ring, and having the the possibility of entering the basket.

Basket Interference: A player cannot touch the ball, ring, or net while the ball is on the ring or within the basket. A player cannot touch the ball if it is in the imaginary cylinder above the ring.

Goaltending is when a player touches the ball during a try, or tap, while it is in its downward flight, entirely above the basket ring level, outside the imaginary cylinder above the ring, and has the possibility of entering the basket.
