Designated Throw in Spot violation Rule 7-62

Rule 7-6-2 states that "The Thrower shall not leave the designated throw in spot until the ball has been released on a throw in pass." It also referances Rule 4-42-6, which says the same thing but adds that the pivot foot and traveling rule are not in effect. So the question is as a referee what signal is used, I could not find any referance to it in the book.

Do not you the traveling signal like most like to. Just point to the spot of the throw in and verbalize that the players violated and moved from the designated spot.

It's in the rule book....under "SIGNALS" at the back(surprise, surprise ). See signal #25- "Free throw, designated spot, or other violation"

I had one last year that threw me...its a really tight gym in a middle school game and the bleachers were maybe 2 feet off the boundry line.

I give the kid the ball for a spot throw in along the sideline and the kid jumps up on the first row of bleachers to throw it in. Of course I tweet and call a violation...coach goes off (he had obviously done this before) and says its within the confines of throw in rules. I just told him to have a seat and enjoy the game.

What is your ruling?

You should have moved the defender back 3 feet, giving the in-bounder 5 feet to move back if he chooses.

Per euby's response below, I would whistle up a throw-in violation.

The defender was double teaming the other guard...he wasn't anywhere near the throw in spot.

Violation.

That was a topic of a thread here a few years ago. The consensus was that the thrower could back up to the stands, but climbing into the stands gave him an unfair advantage not intended under the rules.

I don't know. It's not explicitly forbidden, so it can't be a violation, can it.

Good point....smartazz.

Designated spot throw ins

Note that officials far smarter than I am- Mick and BktBallRef- said that it's illegal.
