In Bounding the Ball
Situation: Rec League B11-12 (they're short, which is important).
A1 is inbounding the ball on their own baseline after the ball went out of bounds off B. Ball is properly handed to A1 out of bounds at the lane extended. A1 is trying to lob the ball to A2 (who is taller than most 12 yr olds) right under A's basket (fan shape). Ball hits the netting and underside of the rim on A's basket directly after throw in before touching a player in bounds. Ref's whislte the ball dead and turn it over to B under A's basket. Correct call? Situation 9.2.2 A is as close as I can find to say it may be legal and play should have been let continue. But that situation discusses the backboard. Thoughts? |

It sounds like the official either saw the play differently or got a couple of rules confused.
The ball merely striking the basket (defined as the ring, its braces and flange, and the net per 1-10-1) on a throw-in pass is not a violation. The front and side edges of the backboard, plus the basket are all inbounds. So the ball hitting any of these would not cause it to be out-of-bounds. However, the officials may have felt that the thrower caused the ball to enter and pass through the basket from below. That is a violation per 9-4. Or the officials may have confused the rules which prohibit a throw-in pass from entering the basket directly or lodging between the ring and backboard or coming to rest on the flange with the ball merely striking the basket on a throw-in. If the play happened exactly as you described, then it was legal and no whistle should have been blown. |

This play is very similar to a play that happened in a boys' H.S. varsity game here in NW Ohio about thirteen years ago.
The score is tied with less than one minute to play. Team H(ome) is going to have the ball for a throw-in on its endline oppostite the S(corer's)T(able). The court has rectangular (the 4ft by 6ft type) backboards. H1 released the pass toward a player on the ST side of the court. The pass hits the underside of the backboard and rebounds onto the court away from the endline. H2 recovers the pass and attempts a layup which was successful. Now here comes the good part. V-HC requests a timeout for a correctable error. V-HC claims that the underside of the backboard is out of bounds and that Team H had committed a throw-in violation. But wait, it gets better. The officials agreed with V-HC. The officials canceled H2's field goal; then charged H-HC with a technical foul for unsportsmanlike conduct (Who would have guessed that he would have been upset about the officials' decision.). Team V made the free throws and won the game. MTD, Sr.

9-2-8 . . . The thrown ball shall not become lodged between the backboard and ring or come to rest on the flange before it touches or is touched by another player. PENALTY: (Section 2) The ball becomes dead when the violation or technical foul occurs. Following a violation, the ball is awarded to the opponents for a throw-in at the original throw-in spot. |

If the throwin is touched by a player inbounds after being released, then the throw-in has ended. It makes no difference what happens next, the arrow is changed.

To elaborate a bit (only a little bit). Let's assume it's an AP throwin.
1. The ball goes directly from the thrower's hand to the rim and gets stuck. Violation on the thrower. B gets the ball and the arrow gets switched to B for the next AP opportunity. Incidentally, if the ball hits the floor first and then gets stuck on the rim, the result is the same. 2. The ball goes from the thrower's hand, is deflected by any of the other nine players, and then gets stuck on the rim. Held Ball, ball goes to B on the arrow, but the arrow will then be set back to A for the next AP opportunity. 3. The ball goes from the thrower's hand and the first time it's touched is a tie up between B1 and A2. Same result as #2.
