Inbounds after hoop....

[just another ref]

Check out rule 7-5-7

I found that, but it doesn't answer my questions as to what that player is able to do........ My guess would be if there isn't language against these actions, it is OK....

Yes, it does. It says that the throw-in can be anywhere at the end of the court outside the end line, and that they can pass the ball along the line to teammates(s) outside the boundary line. That's "teammates"- plural.

Never believe what you read in your local newspaper re: rules interpretations.

OK, you are saying that the teammates can pass the ball between them, and they also have free run of the endline....just so the 5 count is not violated.

No, the rules say that, not me. As JAR said, rule 7-5-7 states the first part. Rule 9-2-4 relates to the 5-second count.

I don't think that both B12 and B10 can be OOB passing the ball back and forth though. Or did I miss that in the rule that was cited?

Sure they can, if it's not a designated spot throw-in. All 5 B players can be OOB practising a Globetrotters' routine if they want, as long as one of them throws a pass towards the court before the end of the 5-second court.
