Back in November I started a thread: Where's the Throw-in?
http://forum.officiating.com/showthread.php?t=29479 If A2 or B2 is standing OOB when they receive the throw-in pass, is their touch of the ball considered 'legal'? As was pointed out in that thread, the violation was on the thrower, not the receiver. Thus the 'new' throw-in would come back to the original spot. I think this new rule has implication to that scenario. The violation now is assessed to the receiver. Spot throw-in at that new location. |

Furthermore, is this still a throw-in violation? If so, the ensuing throw-in would still be awarded from the previous spot. I don't think the rule change has clarified anything about this play at all. |
If your touch is a violation, it is not a legal touch. Semantics aside, sometimes we think too much. Call it the way you interpret it until your boss tells you differently.

The new rule does not address this, at least not as it's been presented. It does, however, offer a new question. Scenario: AP throw-in for A1, who throws the pass. B2 is standing on the OOB line when he is the first to touch this pass. We know we have a new throw-in for A1 at the original spot. Do we switch the arrow? I don't think we do. |
