Did I mess this one up?

That is not what is right for the game. Common sense should prevail here.

I'm sorry that I missed that according to rule and don't want young guys on here not knowing the rules, but there are some times that you need to step up and gain a Crew Chief mentality and ask yourself, "Is it right for the game", because the integrity of the game is what you are trying to protect. Are you protecting it by a kid making a silly mistake by not stepping out of bounds for a throw-in when he hasn't even legally stepped out of bounds to be awarded the chance to make a throw-in? I'm sorry but this makes no sense to me.

BTaylor:

Sorry to sink your boat, BUT common sense has nothing to do with this play only logic and the rules of the game prevail here. The rules state was must be done by Team B after Team A has scored. Too bad that B1 did not follow the rules. What is good for the integrity of the game in this case is to enforce the rules.

By the way, this is also a violation under NCAA Men's/Women's and FIBA rules.

P.S. Good night all.

I don't think it's a violation under FIBA rules. Indeed, in the OP's situation, we are taught to kill the play and resume it with a correct throw-in from behind the endline.
