It does, but that's where I go back to the body of 7-5-1 itself and the "In each situation" qualifier.

Mark,


If you are defaulting to 7-5-1, are you able to set a scenario for:

c. - "Following a violation by one team only, if that team continues to delay when authorized to make a throw-in, it is a technical foul."

• What is the violation ?
• What is the continuation of delay after that violation ?
• When is it a technical foul ?

Thanks.

Mick, I think you've unlocked it for me.

Still don't like it, though, and I may get a more official interp through my local board.

That said, would you read the technical foul (for continued delay) to apply to any throw-in or only a throw-in after the RPP?

...Just the Time-out and Intermission throw-ins seems to be included in "Their" exception.
Dumb rule, ain't it?
Even if it's violated, it won't be enforced. :cool:

My point exactly. If it DOES reset every time, then how would subsection C ever ocur? Give me an example where ONLY one team (Team A) violates in a situation, then violates AGAIN in the same RPP situation when authorized to MAKE a throw in.

How would they ever get a chance to make a second throw in in the same situation if the other team didn't violate? If Team A violated, then Team B makes a throw in that, say, went OOB on the far side without touching anybody, then Team A would get the throw in back at the same location but it would be a DIFFERENT situation now. It is no longer after a TO. If they didn't provide a thrower now, the RPP would begin again with no T.

So, How does subsection C apply at all?????

Well, yer just an agitator, KSRef07. :)

I, for one, would have been happy to merely overlook the rule and basked in ignorance for the rest of the year. I've been comfortable there for a long time.

Go ahead and bask. Just remember to quit before you go blind.

You ain't gonna see this play in your lifetime, Mick. Third world play. I've never seen a technical foul called during an RRP, and I've never heard of a "T" being called during one either.

The exam answer key says that the answer is <b>TRUE</b>. If you ever do get the perfect storm, you now know what to do.

...And you can assure me the answer is correct?
That was rhetorical, ...nevermind. :)

Could it be that they imagine the following?

Team A has not returned to the court to start the second half. It is their ball.
5 second count. Violation. Team B now inbounds and scores unmolested.
Team A is still in the locker room. Team A is now authorized to make a thrown-in. But since Team A is still in the locker room, that team continues to delay. Therefore, it is a technical foul.

Fits like a glove.

Nobody yell at me, I'm just trying to help.

I don't think so, cuz Team B doesn't get the ball while Team A only has 4 players.
That specific rule isn't directed at the number of players on the court to be a violation, it merely wants someone to throw-in the ball.

If Team A is still in the locker room, then the RPP doesn't apply. Team A has one minute to appear, then they get a T.

Um, no.

But I can assure you that on the answer key, it says <b>TRUE</b>.:)

Didn't know that. Where do we find this?

Ok, they're not it the locker room. Same scenario, they just don't come out on the court for whatever reason. Observing a moment of silence for the impending unemployment of Joe Torre, for example.

10-1-5(a) covers that situation. We don't put the ball down and count when the team entitled to the throw-in isn't physically present.

4-38 (RPP) is a good place to start. Then 10-1-5b


If the teams are at the benches, then use the RPP. If a team is not at the bench, then enforce 10-1-5a.
