Penalty for unauthorized leaving floor

[wanja]

Per case 9.3.3C below, does the offense receive the ball after an unauthorized leaving of the court by a defensive player during a try if a) the basket is scored and b) the basket is not scored?. The case ruling seems unambiguous (A will receive the ball). However, at our chapter meeting, there was disagreement if the offense should receive the ball after a made basket. The one point of agreement was that a patient whistle (holding until after the try is complete) would be advisable in this situation.

Case 9.3.3:


A1 and A2 set a double screen near the end line. B3 intentionally goes out of bounds outside the end line to avoid being detained by A1 and A2.Just as B3 goes out of bounds,A3's try is in flight. Ruling: B3 is called for a leaving the floor violation. Team A will receive the ball out of bounds at the spot nearest to the where the violation occurred. Since the violation occurred on the defense, the ball does not become dead until the try has ended. If the try is successful,it will count.(6-7-9 Exception d).
