Awarding points on a throw in

[Ed Maeder]

Some senior officials got me thinking on a question tonight. How can a team be awarded points on a throw in? Thoughts, comments, and references.

Basket interference for touching the ball within the cylinder.

Or basket interference for touching THE BASKET while the ball is on or within the basket.

9.11.1 SITUATION D: The ball is on the ring of Team A's basket when A1 hits the net. RULING: Basket interference by A1. No goal. The ball became dead when A1 touched the net as it is part of the basket. (4-6; 6-7-9)

9.11.2 SITUATION C: Since it is a violation for thrower A1 to throw the ball directly into the basket from out of bounds, what happens if B1 touches the throw-in pass while the ball is in the cylinder above A's basket? RULING: B1 is charged with basket interference and a two-point goal is scored. Team B is awarded the ball for a throw-in anywhere along the end lines as after a scored goal except the official shall place the ball at the disposal of a player of Team B for a throw-in from any point outside the end line. (9-2-7)

Seems that the fed is applying 5-1-1...that only a touched ball can be scored during a throw-in.

How do you get that from the case plays posted (or from any other source)? Note that 5-1 deals with "goals". BI is "awarded points"; it's not a goal.

It seems strange that the fed only cites the touching part of BI, when it's a violation for an untouched ball to pass through the goal per 5-1-1. One could argue that the ball must be touched for an awarded goal to count, because there is nothing about contacting the basket in the case play.

The other citation has nothing to do with the OP.
