A tip of the cap

One other thing to note here. You say that it is an out of bounds play under your opponents basket. Are they attempting a throw-in after your team just scored, because if that is the case, the player can run along the entire endline during the throw-in with no violation.

The opponents were inbounding under the opponent's basket. A team can never (legally) run the endline when it is inbounding under its own basket.

The opponent's basket is the one they are defending. Therefore, you always inbound under your own basket after you give up a score to the other team.

You might want to check out 4-5-1.

Not in NFHS. A team shoots at their own basket.

Wrong ace. This ain't football.

I stand corrected.

Husker John,
Thanks for the positive thoughts. I hope that your team has continued success and that you continue to learn about the game and progress as a coach through this forum. Here is the NFHS rule on the designated-spot:

LEAVING DESIGNATED SPOT
7.6.2 SITUATION: A1 is out of bounds for a designated-spot throw-in. The administering official has designated the spot and put the ball at A1's disposal. In order to avoid some of the defensive pressure near the throw-in spot, A1 takes several steps directly backward, but keeps one foot on or over the designated area prior to releasing the ball on a throw-in pass. RULING: Legal throw-in. It is permissible for the thrower to move backward or forward within the 3-foot-wide designated area without violating and he/she may move laterally if at least one foot is kept on or over the designated area until the ball is released. The thrower may also jump vertically and pass from the designated throw-in spot. COMMENT: Pivot-foot restrictions and the traveling rule are not in effect for a throw-in. The thrower must keep one foot on or over the spot until the ball is released.
