My questions deal with throw-ins. While staying inside the 3 foot box for a spot throw in, is dribbling/bouncing the basketball permissible? Is dribbling or bouncing the ball on the endline legal during a throw-in after a made FT or FG?

Yes, jshock,
Because there is no rule against doing that, it is legal to dribble, or bounce, as long as the other requirements of a throw-in are met.
But, it's wasted action for the athlete.

Except...??

Dribbling is legal. Would dribbling on the endline constitute a throw-in violation?

If the ball touches inbounds, it's a violation. If it just touches the 2" plus border without touching inbounds, the ball is still OOB.

It is a legal move like the posted replies have indicated, but frankly, I have never seen it done by a player. Some coaches still freak when they see a player jump up and down during thespot throw-in yelling "He's traveling..." Wonder what they would say if a player jumped up and down AND dribbled???

I dunno. When my kids were little, they jumped up and down and dribbled. Now - I do.

That was the joke by Mick. I got it. I guess you didn't. Another "senior moment" perhaps?

On a throw-in, when passing the ball (bounce-pass) to an inbounds player, is it a violation for the ball to touch out of bounds before going in-bounds where the player catches the ball?

Here's where it sometimes gets tricky. The rule says the throw-in pass must be thrown directly into the court. However, after a made or awarded score, we all know the inbounder may throw the ball to a teammate who is also standing OOB outside the endline, and have him throw the ball into the court. At first reading of the rule, this would seem to be a violation since the ball wasn't thrown directly into the court. The technical "loophole" is that if the first player throws the ball to the second player, then that throw was not the "throw-in pass" and therefore legal. And yes, the throw-in pass still has to be made within 5 seconds of the time since the ball was at the disposal of the inbounding team, not the final inbounder.

Mark,
A pass to a teammate is a pass.
Good point.
