running the endline

[Nevadaref]

From the 2001-2002 NFHS Rules Book (the year the retaining the end line rule change came in):

On the first couple of pages where the Rules Changes are always listed:
"7-5-7 Permits a team to run the end line on a throw-in when the scoring team, immediately following a made basket or during the ensuing throw-in, commits either a violation or foul."

Also, on page 72 in the Comments on the 2001-02 Rules Revisions:
"Throw-in provision after a score (7-5-7): To prohibit the team that just scored from gaining an advantage, this change permits a team to run the end line on a throw-in when either a foul or violation is committed by the scoring team immediately following a made basket or on the ensuing throw-in. This change only applies when the spot for the throw-in would be at the end line."

Z, This shows that those guys in your state that are allowing the running after a catch and foul are wrong, but it's not crystal clear on the immediate kick. I have always interpreted the first-touch is a kick play to be during the throw-in since it occurs right at the end of it, plus that is also the NCAA rule.
