Where Is The Throwin ???

[bob jenkins]

SITUATION 1: Team A has an alternating possession throw-in at the division line to start the second quarter. (A) Team A commits a violation by taking longer than five seconds to release the ball, (b) A2 commits a common foul in Team A's backcourt near the free throw line before the bonus is in effect. RULING: In (a) Team B is awarded a division line throw-in and in (b) Team B is awarded a throw-in from one of the designated spots closest to where the foul was committed. COMMENT: A throw-in violation that occurs during a division line throw-in remains at the division line. When a foul occurs during a division line throw-in the spot of the in-bound will be based on where the foul occurred. (5-4-2, 7-5-3a, 7-5-4)

Thanks bob jenkins. I found it yesterday, thanks for posting it for us

A nice definitive NFHS reference citation to this very specific situation.

I had not known about this relatively new casebook play until it popped up as a reference citation on my IAABO Refresher Exam.

I'm not a big fan of the "four magic spots".

My elevator pitch:

"If the ball is going to be inbounded in the frontcourt, it will always be inbounded at one of the closest four closest "magic spots" except if the stoppage in play was due to the ball going out of bounds, in which case it will be inbounded at the spot closest to where the ball went out of bounds".

I wish that it was really that simple

A few "odd" exceptions.

Liked it better the "old way".

Less thinking for me to do.
