Where would the throw in Spot be

[kerry7]

Team B scores. Team A immediately calls timeout. They still have running the endline priviledges. Team A throws the ball the length of the court and is never touched by any player inbounds. Before the ball goes out of bounds, A1 while attempting to save it steps out of bounds at the other end of the court then touches the ball. Will the following throw in be at that spot or would it be back at the other end where the original throw in occured

The new throwin spot will be where the thrower released the ball from.

And this was an unannounced change in recent rules...hence the OP's possible confusion.

Until recently, the violation was for touching the ball OOB and the spot was the spot closest to that violation. For some crazy reason (someone on the rules committee had it wrong all these years and wanted to make their mistakes correct) the committee flipped the ruling that had been around forever and made the spot be the throwin spot....as if the ball went out untouched but to the team that didn't touch it. It's fully inconsistent with common sense but that's the way it is.

Agreed. I don't mind the change for when A2 touches the ball while standing OOB, but I'm not keen on the idea of bringing it back for a new throwin for A at the same spot when B1 touches it first while standing OOB.
