Did I mess this one up?

You use case book play 9.2.2SitC as the criteria. That says that the ball was at the disposal of a player to make a throw-in. The player must then be OOB to make a legal throw-in.

Common sense tells you when a player after a basket is flipping the ball to another player to take OOB for the throw-in. All you have to do is watch what the second player does with the ball. If they head for the endline, they're gonna throw the ball in. If they head up the court, call the violation. Whatinthell could be easier than that?

There's no need to change this rule.
