I left my freaking Casebook in the dressing room at last night's game . . . so, if you would . . .

A couple years ago the interpretation changed on catching the tap, as I remember. It was that, if you caught the tap, the other team got the ball and the arrow (you gained control, thus they had the arrow, THEN you violated by having caught the tap, so they got the ball).

This was (rightly, I think) seen as too onerous, and now the ruling is 'they get the ball, you get the arrow'.

Assuming I am not simply out of my mind - stop cheering over there - what is the reference on this, please?

Case 6.4.1 Situation C (d).

Following the jump between A1 and B1 to start the first quarter, the jump ball is caught by A1.

Ruling: Team B will have a throw-in because of the violation and the arrow for the alternating-possession will be pointed towards Team A's basket.

Thanks!

Is the ruling the same if A1 tips the ball on the opening tip, and it goes out of bounds without anyone else touching it?

The arrow is set to team A when the ball is at the disposal of B1 for the throwin.

But what if A3 touched it before it went out of bounds?

What if A2 fouled B2 trying to get to the ball on the tip?

What if A3 screams at the official before anyone controls the tip?

What if A Coach....

what if...?

JLC,

Legit question, I think I know this one:

Since no one gained control it is a rejump.

Correct?

Nope. Padgett had it. A committed a violation (causing the ball to go OOB), so B's ball.

Oops, yep that's right, I was thinking held ball after tip.

Jeez!

....and A's arrow.
