Throw in kick ball

[just another ref]

A1 is shooting 1 free throw. He misses the free throw, and as the ball bounces on the rim, A2 jumps up and stuffs it through. So you guys are going to start the clock and then call the violation and wave off the basket?

I'll answer this - nope, because that's not the rule.

Apples and kumquats. If you look at 5-9-4, it is regarding throw-ins only. Your situation is on a FT.

I just hope I never have to make that call until they change the wording.

5-9-3:If a free throw is not successful and the ball is to remain live, the clock shall be started when the ball touches or is touched by a player on the court.


5-9-4: If play is resumed by a throw-in, the clock shall be started when the ball touches, or is touched by, a player on the court after it is released by the thrower.


What is the difference?

Actually, nothing - I was so focused on the past discussion regarding 5-9-4, I glossed over 5-9-3. The issue is still the same - "touching" vs. "legally touching".

Of course that's what any knowledgable official will do. They're gonna follow the rules.....specifically NFHS rule 5-9-3.

If you don't like the rules and don't feel like following them, be my guest. Good luck in your future officiating career.
