BB question

[thee xbear]

Have a BB question: When a player is throwing a ball inbounds does he have to keep his spot? or can he move a little? This is not on a made shot. And I know alot of yall think you know the answer, but if anyone has the rule I would like to see a link to it to.

thanks

and, Im not talking about on a made basket.

NCAA Rulebook:
http://www.ncaa.org/library/rules/20...ball_rules.pdf

Rule 7-6
Art. 5. The thrower-in shall not leave the designated spot until he/she has released the ball and the thrown-in ball crosses the plane of the sideline or endline.

Thanks, so you can move your feet when throwing the ball inbounds....you do not have to use a piviot foot....

xbear,
Germane to your question is the following fundamental:

Basketball Rules Fundamentals - 5. "Neither the dribble nor traveling rule operates during the jump ball, throw-in or free throw."

Thanks for reminding us of the Fundamentals. (page 74 of the 2004-2005 NFHS book) I think we nitpick the rules while overlooking the common sense of the fundamentals.

I knew you could move your feet, but was challaged and they said you had to have a piviot foot.....I knew I was right, but didnt have the rule or could remember the exact rule on it....all I could remember was you could move 3 feet side to side.....but I like your Basketball rules Rundamentals.....

I do have another question, if someone does move outside the 3 foot spot, what does the ref call? If you cant travel out of bounds?

Not traveling, but a throw in violation.
Tweet, point other way.


SECTION 2 THROW-IN PROVISIONS
A player shall not violate the following provisions governing the throw-in.
The thrower shall not:
ART. 1 . . . Leave the designated throw-in spot until the ball has been released on a throw-in pass.

Right back to the bleachers,but you can't climb on the bleachers.

Correct...basically you can move one step in either direction from the 'spot'..

is this the same thing as a spot travel?

There is no such violation as a "spot travel". The thrower has to keep one foot on or over the 3-foot wide designated spot while while making the throw-in. If you're not sure, don't call it. Dev just told you the way that we usually identify the violation, is all.
