First To Touch The Ball ???
9-3-3: Establishes that a player may step out of bounds without penalty unless they are the first player to touch the ball after returning to the court or if they left the court to avoid a violation.
Quote:
A) A1 was holding (touching) the ball after A2 reentered the playing court. B) A1's pass was already on the way (released) after A2 reentered the playing court. Legal in A, illegal in B? First to touch? |

Wouldn't A1 be the first to touch the ball the ball after A2 returned to the court? |
Quote:
The point of that particular element of the rule is to prevent A1 passing to A2 after A2 returns inbounds. |
Purpose And Intent ...

This certainly would be illegal. Quote:
I've got lot of questions regarding the wording of this new rule. Hopefully some new casebook plays (I haven't gotten my new casebook yet), or new annual interpretations (due soon) will clear this up. |

A1 was the first to touch the ball after A2 reentered the playing court (he was touching it after A2 reentered the playing court before he passed it to A2). 9-3-3: A player shall not step out of bounds under the player’s own volition and then become the first player to touch the ball after returning to the playing court ... Perhaps we should refer to A1 as "Player Zero"? Is there an ordinal number for zero? |

I really like your simple, yet highly rational and thoughtful, explanation. Hopefully we'll get some new casebook plays, or new annual interpretations (due soon), to clear this up. |

In my 18 years of officiating men's college basketball, I may have made that call 5 times. I wouldn't obsess about it.
