Dribbling during a Throw In

[BillyMac]

A player inbounding the ball may step on, but not over the line. During a designated spot throwin, the player inbounding the ball must keep one foot on or over the three-foot wide designated spot. An inbounding player is allowed to jump or move one or both feet. A player inbounding the ball may move backward as far as the five-second time limit or space allows. If player moves outside the three-foot wide designated spot it is a violation, not travelling. In gymnasiums with limited space outside the sidelines and endlines, a defensive player may be asked to step back no more than three feet. A player inbounding the ball may bounce the ball on the out-of-bounds area prior to making a throwin.

As a new official I did not now this. I thought if you stepped on the OOB line, it was a violation. Is this true?

If you step on the out of bounds line, then you're out of bounds. Aren't you supposed to be out of bounds to make a throw-in?

What if the OOB "line" is 3' wide? 6' wide? Goes all the way to the wall?

I had this happen in a game... it was just one bounce, and I think it was more of a loss of control thing. I let it go. Looks like I was right.

As long as the bounce is completely out of bounds, it doesn't matter if it's "controlled" or not.

In the Ancient Days, if the boundary line was only two inches wide, it was a violation for the thrower to step on the boundary line.

Are you serious?

I can never remember it ever to be a violation for a thrower to step on a boundary line.

I think when MTD said "Ancient" he meant pre-Jurassic. He's got years and years of rule books you know, all up there in that great big huge attic.

Pre-Jurassic better mean close to 50 years then.

Mark is post-Jurassic.

[BillyMac]

Pre Jurassic is Triassic.

Post Jurassic is Cretaceous.

I just asked Dr. Naismith (one of the voices who live in my head) and he said, "Nu-uh, eh?". I think that means no in Canadian.
