Q from a 1st year: Crafty inbounds play.

[QUOTE=Nevadaref]
It is indeed an OOB violation and not a throw-in violation. The importance in this distinction is the ensuing throw-in spot. On throw-in violations the next play comes from the original spot, while on OOB violations the throw-in comes from that OOB spot.

I'm still confused. I believe that the original post was a "run the endline" throw in. If B-2 had both feet on the floor, one OOB, and one IB, and is deemed to be OOB, couldn't B-1 just hand, or pass, the ball to B-2, with there being no violation of any type.

The teammate has to be "outside the boundary line". I interpret that as "entirely" outside the line.

Note that this is different wording than "out of bounds" as in 4-35.

So, I'd have this as a "legal" throw-in followed immediately by an OOB violation.

If you'd rather try to interpret this as a pass to another inbounder, then I think the intent of 9-2-5 (shall not carry the ball onto the court) applies and you'd have a throw-in violation.

Either way, the violation is on A2, and the spot of B's throw-in is at teh spot where A2 violated.
