Reset ???

While one can't argue with Nevadarefs' rule citations, I was thinking the same thing.

But lets say that B2 never really had possession (holding or dribbling) out of bounds.

What if B2 (who was picking himself off the floor out of bounds) wasn't expecting a pass because he had his back to B1 (who was simply "flicking" the ball out of bounds, to no one in particular), and the ball accidentally bounced off of B2's back?

Or if B2 wasn't fully ready (looking at his feet to make sure that he was out of bounds) to accept a pass from B1 (who was simply "flicking" the ball out of bounds, to no one in particular) and the ball was accidentally fumbled of muffed by B2 onto the playing court?

All within five seconds.

And, just for fun, add in a "steal" and score by A1 off the accidental ball off the chest, ball off the back, or the fumbled ball.

Or instead of B1 retrieving the ball and proceeding to dribble up the court, imagine that B2 steps onto the playing court to pick up the loose ball off of his chest bump, back bump, or fumble, or muff, and returns out of bounds to "reset" himself? All within five seconds? Again, B2 never really had possession (holding or dribbling) before picking up the inbound loose ball.

Do we allow an inbounder (or free thrower) to "reset" when we, as an officials, screw up the hand off or the bounce pass?

Does actual possession (holding or dribbling) out of bounds count for anything here?

Interesting thread. Thanks rfp.
