Throw In after Made Basket

[tlynch]

Rule 7 - Section 1 - Art. 1.

A player shall be out of bounds when he or she touches the floor or any object other than a player on or outside a boundary line. An airborn player’s status shall be where he or she was last in contact with the floor.

-----------------------

Rule 7 - Section 5 - Art. 8.

After a goal as listed in Rule 7-4.1.c, the team not credited with the score shall make the throw-in from the end of the court where the goal was made and from any point outside the end line.

a. Any player of the throw-in team may make a direct throw-in or may pass the ball along the end line to a teammate who is also out of bounds.

---------------------

Rule 9 - Section 5 - A.R. 182.

During a throw-in by Team A, (a) A1’s foot breaks the plane of the boundary line or (b) A1’s hand(s) and the ball break the plane of the boundary line.

RULING: No violation in either (a) or (b).



=================================================

Are there any other articles that deal with the issue of inbounding with just one foot over the endline, quickly, to ignite a fastbreak? 9-5-182 makes it pretty clear but I hope to send a well formed email to the commissioner so the rule can be called consistently.

I just noticed - If you combine 7-5-8 (end line to a teammate who is also out of bounds.) with 7-5-1, it would seem that a teammate receiving the pass could be standing with one foot inbounds and one foot out of bounds, as the player would, by 7-5-1, be 'out of bounds'.
