Inbounds after hoop....

[zebra44]

I can't find this in the books.....after made basket by team A player from team B secures ball and goes OOB to begin throwin. He then passes to OOB teammate along baseline who then will inbound....can that player pass back to the original inbounder? Also I am pretty sure he can also roam/run the baseline as could the original inbounder...there is an article in our paper claiming that this happened at the end of a local game and is illegal. I hope someone can point me to rule reference.

[just another ref]

Check out rule 7-5-7

[zebra44]

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.

So...this makes me think of a play I saw recently where A1 and A2 were attempting to pass the ball to each other OOB after a made basket.

A1 makes an inbounds pass to A2. A2 - in-bounds but right next to the end line - jumps from the court, catches the in-bounds pass in the air, and lands with both feet OOB. Violation?

How about the opposite? A1 passes to A2 who jumps from OOB, catches ball in air, lands with both feet on the court. Violation?

If I'm reading your scenarios correctly, it appears this would be a violation in both instances. In your first scenario, the player retains "in-bound" status until he is OOB. He catches the ball in the air as an in-bounds player, ending the throw-in. He then lands OOB, which is a violation.

In your second scenario, the player is OOB when he catches the ball, which doesn't end the throw-in. However, he lands in-bounds, which is a violation during the throw-in.

The only one reading between the lines is the one who thinks it’s a violation to throw back and forth. There’s no rule that states any teammate is ineligible to receive this pass, so it’s perfectly legal. Don’t get your hopes up on correcting the scribe, however.

Exactly. Unless, of course, you're going from frontcourt to backcourt on a throw-in, and then you are where you're going as long as you aren't where you are.

Yes.

How did the officials rule when you saw this/these thing(s)?
