Situation: Final Quarter of game, Less than 10 seconds on the clock. Ball is inbounded by trailing team (2 pts) after a goal. They immediately call time-out.
Question: When play resumes and the ball is inbounded, what is the correct location? As long as I can remember the ball is inbounded just behind the half-court line. In this situation the ball was inbounded from under the goal. Am I just clueless? TIA [Edited by dsnyder on Dec 7th, 2004 at 12:36 AM] |
It all depends on where the ball was located at the time the timeout was granted. I think you might be getting the NBA confused. The NBA has a rule that if the game is under 2 minutes (it might be a minute) that the ball would be put at half court. High School and College the rules say to put the ball closest to where the timeout is granted.

I'm certainly confused (g)...
Maybe I am dreaming but remember this going back to YMCA ball (4th-6th grade) in the late sixties... Thought this was the main reason for call a timeout in this situation? |
Rules do change from time to time.
Well I do not know about the rules in the late 60s. I just know that today the rules outside of the NBA are what I stated in my earlier post. Rules change from time to time.

Thank you all very much for the replies. Glad to have a resource such as this available. I do remember practicing inbound plays in Junior High as well (South Florida). Similar to practicing your two minute drill in football.
The local public schools do have their own variations on the rules (8th grade / Northern California). Last year there were guidelines on when you could apply a full court press. This year, same league, the rule seems to have been abandoned. Terribly confusing... It also appears that palming the ball is quite legal here. Asked a ref after a game last year... he said nobody calls it any more. Thanks again. |
