Question

simple question that I can not seem to find in the rule book.
Can a player bounce or dribble the ball during a throw in,
either at the spot or after a basket? A coach ask me this
and I can not seem to find the rule on this! In the 80 plus games I have done so far this season I have not notice any
players doing this.

Dibbs,
Yes, the player may bounce and dribble. It is like a free throw preparation... no rule against doing it.

Dibbs: yes he/she can do both and probably more however he/she still has only 5 seconds to inbound the ball and if it is a spot trow in, he/she is restricted on movement as we all know.

It's one of those things that you can't find in the rule book because there's no rule against, so there's no need for a rule that says you can do it. Just make sure that she doesn't bounce it on the boundary line.

On the boundary line?
... Over the boundary line?

On the boundary line. 4-9-2

The inside edges of these lines define the inbounds and out-of-bounds areas.

And, therefore, the boundary line is still out of bounds.

I concur with Mick - must bounce ball completely on court, or it is still OOB. Now how about this?

If it crosses the plane after the bounce, does it become a throw in violation because it is a loose ball, in play, and hit oob prior to inbounds? Certainly the defense can grab it.

The defense can grab ANY ball that crosses the plane with no penalty whether it is in possesion of the thrower in or not. Likewise, the defense can also touch any ball that crosses the plane. If I could determine it, I'd call a throw in violation assuming the defender didn't knock it out of his hands BEFORE it crossed the plane. If the thrower in crossed the plane with the ball and the defense knocked it out of his hands and it hit out-of-bounds before it went onto the court, then out-of-bounds on the defense.

Indy,
I don't know about that.
I'm giving the ball back to Offense, unless it bounced off the thrower somehow.

Sorry, Indy,
Yes you did!
I don't read, or talk, too good.

Nope. You're missing where the boundary is. The boundary line is where inbounds meets out of bounds. I'm not talking about a two inch stripe. The 2 inch, 3 inch, or 2 foot stripe around the playing floor is not the boundary line. Yes, this stripe is OOB. But the inner edge of the line, just as is defined in the rule above is the boundary line. If the ball bounces on the boundary line, it's bounced on the inbounds side as well as the out of bounds side. It's impossible for a ball to bounce on the line where these two areas meet and not hit inbounds.

Tony,
1-2-1: The playing court shall be marked with sidelines and end lines....The sidelines and end lines shall be a minimum of 2 inches in width.
4-9-1: Boundary lines of the court consist of end lines and sidelines.

Granted that the inbound/out-of-bound line has neither width, nor depth, but only length.

You may still bounce the ball on the boundary line, and be out of bounds, unless there is insufficient air in the ball and then it won't bounce so good.
