Violation?

Team B inbounding the ball after a made basket. B1 has the ball in his hands and passes to B2 who is on the court running toward the endline. He catches the ball and goes out of bounds to inbound the ball. This is a set play that I've seen before. Is this a violation? If not, why? It seems to me that is should be. Would it be a violation if it was a spot throw-in?

I don't see this as a throw in violation. If it were the arrow would need to be reversed. This is just a case where there was a legal throw in and then carried OOB. Award other team the ball at spot where ball went OOB.

Now if B2 was standing OOB and B1 passed the ball to B2 after a made basket, that would be perfectly legal.

Now reading down the thread, B2 last established position inbounds. So while B2 was in the air, then caught the ball and went OOB, there is still no violation. The ball was legally thrown in but then carried OOB.

A player shall not violate the following provisions etc..

A thrower in shall not
9.2.2 Fail to pass the ball directly into the court from OOB so it touches or is touched by another player on the court before going OOB untouched.
