Location of designated spot throw in for B1?
 

Here is a question to all. Let see how many of you can get this one correct. I was surprised by the answers. Where does B1 bring the ball in at?

1.) A1 endline throw-in ball goes out of bounds mid court untouched:
2.) A1 endline throw-in ball goes out of bounds and is caught by A2 who has both feet out of bound:
3.) A1 endline throw-in ball goes out of bounds and hits referee who has both feet out of bounds:
4.) A1 endline throw-in ball goes out of bounds and hits referee who has one foot in bounds and one foot out of bounds:
5.) A1 endline throw-in ball goes out of bounds and hits A2 who has one foot in bounds and one foot out of bounds:

Iamkip :D

1, 3, and 4 go back to the point where the throwin was released.
2 and 5 will be at the spot where A2 touched the ball.

Which ones surprised you?

Close...
 

Why do you say #2 & #5 are spot where A2 touched the ball? Do you have a rule/case reference?

Iamkip :D

Rule 9, Section 3, Article 2.
Penalty:
Do you disagree?

You might want to make sure you have this year's rule book.

And this year's interps -- especially number 3.

My question would be, why is a ref standing with both feet out of bounds?

#2 incorrect
 

Per rule 9-2-11 & 9-2-12, throw in violation and ball is put back in play at original spot with throw in by B1. .. Not on the midcourt sideline...

The other by rule are correct

Iamkip :D

In some cases it is the best place to be.
 

so if hit the ball is out of bounds...

If this is 3-man, the Center official may be helping on the press.

You're looking at last year's rule book.
There is no 9-2-12 this year. And 9-2-11 says a teammate of the thrower may not "be" out of bounds. If you don't catch this violation until the ball is caught by A2, you call the 9-3-2 violation and give the ball to B1 roughly where A2 was standing when he caught the ball.

Yup, or it could be the administering official. :)

But, I only know a couple of refs who couldn't move out of the way of a pass from the other side of the court.

You stand on the court as the lead?

SInce you missed it the first time, I'll post it again.
 

Hhmmm, good point. I was figuring that lead wasn't ref, since it was an endline throw-in.

And I was thinking 2-person, not 3, so I like the answer about C. I just don't think in terms of C.
