Delay Throwin Or Free Throw ...

[BillyMac]

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.

My general question is: Why do my interpreters/trainers often stress that the resumption-of-play procedure is used following a timeout or intermission, when in reality it is used in many other situations not necessarily following a timeout or intermission, with two main exceptions, delay by the free thrower, and starting the second half, both of which are immediate technical fouls that do not involve placing the ball on the floor or giving it to the team who is not delaying.

What trainers are you talking about? Are you assuming facts not in evidence?

IAABO, every time this casebook play is used as an exam question and discussed.

10.4.5 SITUATION: The ruling official has reported the foul and has given directions to players along the lane. The official is ready to put the ball at free thrower A1’s disposal, but A1 is at the sideline talking to the coach ...

"We don't use the resumption-of-play procedure in this situation because it's NOT after a timeout or intermission".

We don't do our training through IAABO. A lot of associations don't. You should probably address that concern directly to IAABO.

I know that and Raymond probably also knows that I know that, but I did go back and change "interpreters/trainers" to "my interpreters/trainers".

"This situation" refers to the FT.

Resumption of play:
1) Throw-in; or
2) After TO; or
3) After intermission (unless either team is not on court to start second half)

Great post bob jenkins.

I just spotted the word "or" in 4-38, however the 7-5-1 has a comma instead of an "or", which is what confused me.

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.

7-5-1: When a team does not make a thrower available, after a timeout (as in 7-4-4) or the intermission between any quarter (as in 6-2-3), the resumption-of-play procedure is used to prevent delay. The administering official will sound the whistle to indicate play will resume ...

The "or" is important, it covers all throwins, both after a timeout or intermission and not after a timeout or intermission.

Not so for free throws. After a timeout or intermission (resumption-of-play) is not the same as not after a timeout or intermission (technical foul).

(Aside from starting second half.)

I learned a lot today. Thanks.
