inbound hand-off
 

Can somebody point me to a rule that addresses this.. Team A is inbounding the ball after a goal while being pressed by Team B. A-1 has the ball and hands it to A-2 as he sprints by.. I'm guessing this isn't legal but I'm having a "senior moment" and can't find anything in the rulebook.

NFHS rules 9-2-2 or 9-2-4. Gotta pass the ball on a throw-in....

not under fiba rules though, you may hand the ball in to another player (and if not it's not in the book :P)

I know this is to pass the ball inbounds, but must A1 pass the ball to A2 who is also out of bounds?

Since the inbounds was following a goal, A1 has the option of running the endline or passing to A2 who is also out of bounds behind the endline. This "pass" can also be a hand-off as long as A2 has completely established that he/she is out-of-bounds.

Can A1 pass the ball by kicking it to A2 along the endline on a throw-in after a made basket?:confused:

Or, what if A2 goes OOB just to avoid a screen and A1 passes the ball to A2?:confused:

Geeze, you ask a serious question and the Joker shows up......

Can the thrower legally hit the ball with his fist to a teammate inbounds on a throw-in?

Wow, when did he become a Forum member?

Ok, let's get serious. I know we've had these discussions before, but, at least in my games, it is against the rules to strike the ball with a fist, and it is against the rules to intentionally strike the ball with any part of the leg. So I've got a violation in either case.

I'll check at the Cleveland Public Library for any books on exceptions.

"Book<b><font color = red>s</font></b>"? Plural? More than <b>one</b> book at the Cleveland Public Library? Not completely colored yet either?

Who woulda thunk it?

Gotta admit one thing though.....I've never met anyone before that went to Cleveland <b>deliberately</b>. Hope they find a cure for that soon......the humanity, the humanity:eek:.....

Geeze, somebody from Chicago <b>vacationing</b> in Cleveland? Was Oshkosh full?

9-2-2
The ball shall be passed by the thrower directly into the court from out-of-bound so it touches or is touched by another player (inbounds or out of bounds) on the court before going out of bounds untouched.

4-31
A pass is movement of the ball caused by a player who throws, bats or rolls the ball to another player.

At least Cleveland has a baseball team...<font size =-2>grumble...grumble...</font size>

And besides, I've got all the coveralls I need, by gosh.

It's too bad there's no definition of "bats" (other than what's in my belfry), but I've always taken it to mean "with an open hand".

I beg to differ......

NFHS rule 4-15-1 defines a "bat" as when a player intentionally strikes the ball with the hand(s).

When looking for definitions, look in <b>"Definitions"</b>.:D

Sorry - I'm going to Cleveland for vacation and I was trying to get into character. :p
