Throw-in handoff - old book

[bucky]

From https://forum.officiating.com/basket...ates-ball.html


Nevadaref indicated:

Handing the ball to a teammate inbounds during a throw-in is not allowed.

7.6.3 Situation B: During an attempted throw-in, A1: (a) holds the ball through the plane of the end line and then passes it; (b) steps through the plane (makes contact with the floor inbounds) before passing the ball to A2; or (c) holds the ball through the plane and hands it to A2. RULING: A legal throw-in in (a), but a throw-in violation in (b) and (c).


The post was from 2005 and that particular situation is no longer in print (to my knowledge).

1. Does anyone know why the case was removed?
2. Does anyone know the last year the case was in print?
3. Does anyone know if there is such a similar case in any NCAA book?

7.6.3 Situation B (as 7.6.4 Situation B) last appeared in the NFHS Basketball Casebook in 2014-15 and was not in the 2015-16 casebook.

The continuing validity of old Points of Emphasis, vanished casebook plays, and annual one-time only interpretations (with no relevant rule changes or interpretation changes to invalidate such), was discussed.

Ms. Atkinson stated that as long as there are no relevant rule changes, or interpretation changes, to invalidate such, old vanished interpretations are still officially considered to be valid by the NFHS. She also stated that usual reason for still valid casebook plays to be dropped is due to page limitations, when a new caseplay goes in, one usually has to come out.

Nice announcement. Good to know the official position of the NFHS, but practically speaking ...

... you don't know what you don't know.

Im guessing the NFHS is assuming that the we not notice and start asking awkward questions. Or that we interpret the part about "shall be released" to mean that you can't hand it off.
