Thanks for the specific case play. I thought I was right. Another situation If I can ask, A1 inbounds, it flicks off off A2's fingers, A1 jumps inbounds and gains possession. I know A1 can't inbounds obviously and be the first to gain possesion but is first scenario legal??

Thanks

Basically the same situation. Legal throwin, and now a loose ball. A1 only needs to have "inbounds" status to pickup the ball.

As long as A1 has 1 foot inbounds when he touches the ball he's OK. Throw in ends when A2 (or any player) legally touches the ball.

This site should be required reading for all officials.

I concur, reading the rulebook frequently along with hitting this site keeps one on their toes. Officiating.com is where it's at!

As long as A1 has 1 foot inbounds AND IS NOT TOUCHING OOB when he touches the ball he's OK.

How are baseball shoes gonna stop his lazy @ss from being run over?

Spiderman shoes couldn't do that.

No matter what Nike says, shoes can't cure an innate lack of mobility.

I'm tired of big, stupid linebackers...

Um, well, yeah, that was actually my point too.

Mr. Quick could borrow Spidey's boots and he'd still get his immobile, Snickers laden butt run down.

Just kidding, Tony(and any other U's reading)....

Just a quick correction. A1 can throw the ball in be the first to gain possession. However, he may not be the first to touch. You seem aware of this, but the difference is key.
