Throw in (after a basket) hits official...

Correct call and reasoning, but use rule 9-2-2 for justification of the violation. Treat it the same as trying to pass the ball along the endline but bouncing it in-bounds instead.

Wasn't it somewhat-recently decided in another thread that in a 7-5-7 situation, a teammate could theoretically roll the ball (let alone bounce-pass) to another teammate out of bounds along the end line, prior to making the throw-in pass? (The logic being that it is perfectly legal to touch the ball to the ground out of bounds - or bounce/dribble it - prior to making any throw-in, let alone a 7-5-7 throw-in.)

Or is this a violation because, as Jurassic is citing, it's treated the same as bouncing the ball on an actual throw-in pass that first touches out of bounds on it's way to going in bounds?

If the pass is between two teammates who are both standing OOB, it's legal just like it's legal to bounce pass between them. If the pass is the inbounds pass, it's illegal if it bounces OOB first.
Basically, if the ball touches the floor, it must then be caught by a player with the same status as the spot of the floor touched by the ball; and it must not touch the floor in both IB and OOB before touching another player.

JR, I don't follow your reasoning here if the ref has both feet oob. Why would it be illegal for the ball to touch the ref? Then when the ball goes inbounds...

I see, so it's illegal for the ball to go inbounds after it bounces oob?

In situ (I heard that on the radio the other day, cool, eh?), I'd have let it go and A would get their basket.

But I see your point.

Right. The ball touching the official is the same as the ball touching the floor (rule 2- Ball Location). So, we have a passed ball, touching out of bounds, then going inbounds. That's a ball that's not passd directly into the court. Violation.

So, would it be considered OOB's as I stated, or a violation? Does it really matter, as A will get the ball either way?

Technically, it's a throwin violation. It's the same call you'd make if the thrower bounced threw a bounce pass that bounced OOB before being caught in bounds by a teammate.

Had a dual violation last night. A1 getting trapped right by his bench in the 2nd half. He's used his dribble and is trying to get an angle to pass over B1 and B2. He lifts his pivot foot and I can tell it's coming down. Sure enough, he puts it down ... out of bounds. Can't remember what I called, but I gave the ball to B.

Yes, the ball is OOB when it hits the official, as you stated. It does not become a a violation however until the ball lands in-bounds though.

YU.P.
Violation.
If I think about it happening to me, I will not reward the throw-in team for hitting me with the ball with such a terrible pass. When it bounces inbounds we're going the other way.
