By rule, a team may continue to play with one player if that team has an opportunity to win the game.

If there is only one player left, how does he/she properly inbound the ball?

See "Lane Space Violation" from yesterday--it talks about that situation quite a bit.

Sounds like fun!!!

Same as always. Just goes OOB and makes a throw-in. If the ball touches a defender on the court, it's a legal throw-in and play continues. If it doesn't touch anyone before it goes OOB, it's a violation. Clock either runs or doesn't run during the throw-in, depending on what happened before it.

I have a question, what if the thrower just dropped the ball inbounds and none of the defenders touch it.

I would think the opponents would want to touch it...since they are behind.

If the opponents are hoping for a forfeit or something of that nature...they will probably get one, and not in their favor, as one could rule a travesty of the game.

Another ugly thing that could happen, is the lone A player's best bet is to play dodgeball with B's players.

If you think about it B would position their players as far away from A as possible, to make the bounce off impossible, so A's only chance is to keep hitting B players who most likely will be trying to not get hit.

Bad blood could really rise in that situation.

Throw in strategies

Think about what could be done by A1, the only player left on the team, in a throw-in situation.

Dodgeball is always an option - throwing the ball in so that it touches any player on B and then A1 can legally touch the ball again.

If clock is running, A1 only has to release the ball before 5 seconds is up and then wait for someone on B to touch the ball first. Team B would want to do this in this situation because the clock is still running - so dodgeball becomes a real factor.

If clock is not running, A1 could release the ball, tossing the ball down court and following the ball as it bounces down court. As the ball nears the opposite endline, A1 could touch the ball on court, causing the violation. Would that not be a spot violation at that point? Team B would have to travel the entire court to score now, taking more time off the clock.

This is a throw in violation, so it would go back to where the ball was originally thrown in.

Good try though

This came up in one of associations meetings. You penalize it where the violation occurred. The violation was where the player touched the ball. Spot throw-in. If the throw in was not touched by any player before going out of bounds at the opposite endline, then you bring it back to the spot where the ball was inbounded.

rwest,

Generally that is true. This is an exception though as I was educated on in an earlier post:

Check out Case Book, page 64. 9.2.2 Situation B(a)

The throw-in by A1 is: (a) first touched in the court by A1;
RULING: Violation in (a); B's ball at the spot of the throw-in.

Talking

why worry about it, in 33 years i have never had less then 3 players on one team. the coach would probably quit playing, what if that one player was injured and could not continue.
