Where does it say that team control is necessary for there to be a defensive team. To throw that ball back into JR's court, please cite a rule for me that says that.
I think that it is quite obvious that if one team is making a throw-in, the opponent is playing defense. |

If we're going to parse the wording of the rule to the point where we insist that the parenthetical list is all-inclusive, then "defense" needs to be defined as well. The only rule definition I can find is by defining it as the opposite of the team in control; which won't exist during a throwin.
Personally, I think the parenthetical list is meant as a few examples rather than a full and all-inclusive list of times when the allowance is in effect.

2) Obvious to who? You? Somehow methinks that doesn't make it so. |

Well I can demonstrate using what is written in the rules book that your "common sense" isn't correct. There are two statements in the Fundamentals which mention defense. In the first, there is no team control because the try has been released, which we know ends team control. However, the continuous motion interval is the topic of the second, which we know occurs while the player is still holding the ball and thus has team control. Basketball Rules Fundamentals 7. The only infractions for which points are awarded are goaltending by the defense or basket interference at the opponent's basket. 17. “Continuous motion” applies both to tries and taps for field goals and free throws, but it has no significance unless there is a foul by the defense during the interval which begins when the habitual trying or tapping movement starts and ends when the ball is clearly in flight. Therefore, defense can occur both while there is and also while there is not team control. Q.E.D. ![]() |
