Running the Baseline

[Hartsy]

I'm sure this will be quickly answered. If a timeout is called by the throwing team following a basket, can there be a loss of the "running the baseline" privilege?

I say no, but I had someone tell me that if a team was trying to inbound against a press D following a basket, and called the timeout only to avoid a 5 second violation, that the good D should be rewarded following that timeout by having to defend only a spot throw in.

I don't think there is any judgment to be made here by an official as to why the time out was called. It is never a spot throw in this case.

BTW, I'm glad I found this site. I'm a beginner so I find a lot to absorb here.

Thanks,
