Situations

[Air JC]

Happy Holidays to everyone out there. I am a 2nd year official who happened upon this site and have been enjoying the discussions on it for a few weeks. I have had some situations come up in my games that I would like to present and get your imput on them.

1. Ball is placed at disposal of A1 at free throw line. During a preshot dribble, A1 loses control of the ball and ball rolls towards baseline. I blew my whistle, gave the ball back to A1, and restarted the throw. Was that correct?

2. A1 and A2 simutaneously rebound a shot and come to the floor with both possessing the ball. Neither move feet while in possession. Is this a travel or not? I remember growing up playing ball hearing parents and coaches say this is traveling, but why would it be?

3. A1 is inbounding from a spot. How much foot movement is allowed by A1 while inbounding the ball? Can both feet move, if so how far from the spot can they move to? Or just 1 move like having a pivot foot while inbounding?

Three questions are enough for now. I think this is a great site, and a great resource for young officials. Keep up the good work everyone.
