1. A2 goes gets the ball and returns OOB and passes within 5 seconds, okay. Count does not stop.
2. B2 recovers the ball inbounds after it hits the sidewall. Blow it dead, pass was not thrown-in. Have team A inbound again, same priviledges.
3. After the ball hits the sidewall, A1 recovers. Blow it dead, pass was not thrown-in. I'm struggling here with this being a violation or not. I am leaning towards a violation in that A1 can not pass the ball to himself or carry the ball onto the court for a throw-in. However, having team A inbound the ball again, endline priviledges remain, sounds reasonable too, but this is a violation.

Man, I hope this never happens in a game I'm working.

You do know what that case play says, don't you? If you don't mind, would you please post it for any other readers that may not have a case book. Much appreciated.

That's exactly why you should never answer rules questions, JMO. All you had to do was look that case play up and you would have known that you were wrong. If you don't own the rules and case book though, you do run into some problems though, don't you?

Gee, over 10,000 games in 16 years and he's never owned an NFHS rule or case book. That's a record that may never be broken. :)

DISCLAIMER: Of course, if you don't high school games, there's really no need to buy 'em anyway.

B) Fans/parents never can be relied on to know the rules, nor to accurately represent what really happened.
