Let's Put It To Bed

96-97, 97-98, 98-99, 99-00, 00-01 Basketball Casebook Plus (sometimes called the Officials Guide) is Published and sold by Referee Magazine & NASO and written by George Demetriou, Bill Topp & Steve Ellington. The following is a caseplay that appears in "all" these books, beginning back as far as I can find-1996.

Quote---"When thrower A1 releaes a pass from behind the out-of-bounds line, a team B player may immediately reach through the boundary-line plane. (9-2-11 Schindler Interp.)"

Immediately below this is the following caseplay::::
Quote---"As A1 releases the ball, B3 reaches across the boundary-line plane and bats the ball into A's feet. Ruling: FED: Legal play. A1 has violated by being the first player to touch the ball out-of-bounds; team B's ball for a throw-in."
