I know this might seem kinda picky, but I just want to point out that #1, #2 and #3 are violations, not fouls. If A violates during the throw-in, they do lose the arrow (if it's an AP throw-in), and they lose the endline (obviously). If A fouls, they lose the endline privilege, again obviously, but they don't lose the arrow. For that reason, it's importnat to distinguish between fouls and violations, rather than lumping violations under fouls. For an over-arching word, use "infractions".

So, yer sayin' it's illegal to put a foot in one's mouth ? http://www.deephousepage.com/smilies/conf40.gif

Oops again, very good catch - I meant to include violations when wording it, but couldn't think of a word that would exclude personal fouls - Thanks! Infractions work quite well.

That being said... what other infractions?

Off the top of my head:
1. The thrower steps over the OOB line and touches Inbounds territory.
2. anyone catches the throwin pass while standing OOB on any of the four lines.
3. The thrower releases the ball for a throwin pass and then proceeds to touch it before anyone else.
4. The thrower hands the ball to a teammate.

There's a few more in rule 9-2.

Way to go Nevadaref!!!! When I first read OS's response, I had the same thought as you. I did not have my book to quote, plus I was leaving work to ref. So, I was going to wait until I came home. Never fear, you chimed in and set OS straight.
deecee, you should know not to give any credit to OS. Shame on you.

follow-up
 

To follow-up on the initial question...

Say Red makes a basket, White takes it out, throws it in, and THEN the timeout is granted. The ball will be thrown in at the same spot; can white still run the baseline?

Thanks.

If the time-out request is recognized before the throw-in, then the right to use the end line remains.
If the time-out request is recognized after the throw-in, then a designated spot is used.
If the time-out request is recognized during the throw-in (after the release, but before player control) it should be ignored.

i applogize and have learned my lesson -- shame on me...

Good boy.
:D

More infractions!
 

Hi, everyone! First time here in the basketball forum (been shot down once in the Baseball forum already, but that's my rookie sport!*)
Anyway, here goes...

4, above is a delay-of-game warning for the first offence, then a team technical foul after any warning for delay (9-2-11, penalties 1 and 2, 10-1-10).

Here are a couple more:

1) B1 contacts the ball on the OOB side of the line: technical foul (9-2-11, penalty 3, 10-3-11), charged directly to the player.

2) B1 fouls A1 on the OOB side of the line: intentional personal foul (9-2-11, penalty 4)

And, I suppose, the garden-variety T for unsporting conduct! :rolleyes:

As suggested in another post, lots more under 9-2!

Just a question, along with this, does anyone try to call the delay of game before either of my 1 or 2, above, happen? You'd have to be pretty quick with the whistle, I guess! :D

*: which I picked up so that I could spend our all-too-brief summer outside in the sun, rather than in a (usually non-A/C) gym!

I didn't know this either, that good info to know. Thanks for sharing and correcting me.

Thanks for sharing and correcting me. I did not know that. I'm sure this made your day. Try not to gloat to much....:)

Perhaps you are starting to come around. :cool:

I'll stop picking on you if you agree to start reading the NFHS rules (starting with the Interps currently posted on the website) and stop posting incorrect rulings so decisively as if you know them. If you don't know, then put "I'm not sure, but I think..." or "I don't know for sure, but I believe the way it is done is..." in your response. That way newer refs don't mistakenly believe that the answer you provided is definitely correct.

If you truly want to learn the rules, I am willing to help you.

Best wishes. :)
