Fans on sideline is touched with ball
![]() Fan walking up sideline in small gym. Half on the court and half off. A1 dribbling the ball up the court. Ball hits fan that is touching 1/2 on & off the playable court. Is ball OOB? And if yes, then does B get the ball? I don't have my book today, please give ruling number. Thanks |

The ball is OOB as per rule 7-1-2(b). It sounds like the the fan interfered with play. If so, give team A the ball back for a throw-in. Use case book play 7.1.2SitB(a) as a guideline. Almost the same situation.

7-1-2(b) just says the ball is OOB, presumably off of A1 who was dribbling. A1 should watch where he/she is dribbling.

a. A player who is out of bounds. b. Any other person, the floor, or any object on or outside a boundary. I agree with JR. Whether the fan interference is deliberate or not doesn't matter. The fact that the fan is partially in the court does. The fan shouldn't be there, but sometimes circumstances dictate otherwise. Therefore, instead of a strict enforcement of 7-1-2, which was not intended to cover this situation, use 2-3 to stop play and give Team A a throw-in. Now if the fan were completely OOB, then I would simply follow 7-1-2. |

There is no wayinhell you can logically charge A1 with a violation under R9-3-1. Again, the fan caused the ball to go OOB, not A1. If the fan came 4 feet onto the floor and knocked the ball OOB, would you call a violation on A1 too? Just give the ball back to team A. Lah me...... |

![]() Of course, some fool is going to tell you not to charge the team associated with this supporter with a technical foul. ![]() |

Unless you've got a better rule citation than the ones you've given, then you have to give the ball to B.

The ball would not have gone OOB except for the fan interference. You don't penalize a team for fan interference either. Well..... I thought that you don't. Apparently, I was wrong. There's at least one official that would. Unbelievable....... |
