Like lukelalex alluded to, throw ins have their own set of rules.

Sigh...you guys are right; it is a throw-in violation, because the throw-in was never completed by being touched by one of the other 9 players on the court. The penalty is no different than having the throw-in go OOB all the way across the court, it just goes back to the original throw-in spot.

I guess this is one advantage to doing grade school and rec ball, because I don't think I've ever seen that in a HS or higher level game. Doing those lower levels really does make you think about some of the rules that don't normally get applied.

Damn, I just looked in the mirror and found another blonde hair!
