Team control player OOB

[RSmith]

Watching a girls V game last night and the lead official called a violation on a player who was running the baseline - but was OOB. I'm a first year official - is that a violation?

Was it a throw-in? Or was the ball in play in-bounds?

The ball was in play in bounds

I'm assuming this was during inbounds play, and that the player in question was going from one side of the basket to the other. The official was correct, it's a violation to leave the court for an unauthorized reason (going around screens is not a valid reason).

Violation. Rule 9-3-2.

Then, yea, it's probably a violation. It's leaving the floor for an unauthorized reason. Was she trying to get around a screen or a defender? And how for oob was she?

I've called it twice this year.

Boys varsity I had 2 different kids do it, neither got the ball, so I gave them the stay in warning, 3rd kid did it so at this point I know it's being coached so bang, violation. Coach goes unglued, my partner was bench-side and told him, he's heard me tell them twice to stay in.

Girls JV...the as a favor game...same girl two straight inbound plays. She runs between the in-bounder and the girl guarding the inbound to free herself for the pass.

Again first time she has one foot OOB, so I say stay in. Second time the thrower is deeper so she is completely OOB.

So what is the call here...I understand, unlawful leaving of the court....

Blow the whistle and signal the other direction, then give explanation?

Would it be different for a throw in versus ball in play?

The call is "..mumble.. mumble violation". The difference on the throw-in is whether or not it's a spot throw-in. If it is, and the in-bounder "runs" or if someone besides the in-bounder goes oob, then it's a throw-in violation.

Mumble mumble violation....gotcha! I'll call that right after I use the superman signal and report "I've got over the back on 2-3 red"

HEY - that wasn't over-the-back. It was a reach!

I hit the whistle, put a hand up and say "violation: running OOB," then point in the direction of the opponent.

Yes, the rule is different. During a designated-spot throw-in the governing rule is 9-2-11. The enforcement is also a bit different. The leaving the court violation (9-3-3) results in a throw-in from that location, while during a throw-in the violation for stepping OOB (9-2-11) results in the ensuing throw-in for the opponent coming from the original throw-in spot no matter where the player stepped OOB.
