throw in spot

[kbilla]

After a made basket by B, A1 runs the endline and passes towards A2 who does not touch the ball (nobody touches it) and it goes out of bounds on the sideline. I am C and have the out of bounds call, but now where is the subsequent spot throw-in for B? As I gave the ball back to old T/new L to inbound from the endline for B, something was telling me that since the inbound by A was not a spot throw-in (following made basket),that it didn't matter that the ball was not touched,something was telling me that the new throw-in spot for B was the sideline where the ball went out....anyway we gave it to B on th endline for a spot throw-in and moved along..did we get it right?

It's a throw-in violation -- that is, it's A1's responsibility to throw the ball so it's touched. The next throw-in is at the spot of the violation -- the bad throw.

That is what we did, but you know when you just get "that feeling"....I must have been inventing something in my head that wasn't correct, glad I didn't go with the spidey sense! Thanks!

You should always officiate according to the rules. If JR hears that you are working by "spidey sense", he might just hunt you down and kick you where you get a tingling feeling.

Are you sure he wouldn't just jump off a building?
