"Reestablishing" inbounds

Rule 9: Violations and Penalties
Section 3: Out Of Bounds
Article 2


Art. 2... A player shall not leave the floor for an unauthorized reason.
Note: The dribbler has committed a violation if he/she steps on or outside a boundary, even though he/she is not touching the ball while he/she is out of bounds.

From my experience, you get these comments after a throw-in. The thrower will pass the ball to a team mate and it gets deflected back to the thrower and they are the first to touch it inbounds.

the only exception is the dribbler cannot step out of bounds then come back inbounds and be the first to touch.

and jcarter most of the time (99%) players are out of bounds because their momentum carried them there. the other 1% of the time is the violation for the offense and I cannot imagine a defensive violation ever needed to be called for this. the defense might but it would probably be for him chasing after the offensive player who just commited his violation first...

Not quite, but close. The dribbler could be the first to touch if you rule it an interrupted dribble. IOW, if the dribbler loses control of the ball before going OOB, composes herself, and runs right back in and picks up the dribble again; it's perfectly legal.

It's also legal if she doesn't compose herself.

So, did you read that on a fortune cookie, too?

No, I think it was a line from the "Dude, someone stole my car" movie.

Wasn't the teammate that deflected the ball the first player to touch it in-bounds? And wouldn't it be a legal play anyway if it was deflected and touched the thrower who was now in bounds?

Are you into the ganja again today, Tanner?
