Just when you have heard it all

I am not sure of the rule book reference, but it does seem logical that the person inbounding the ball can't run along the baseline and then up the sideline to inbound the ball. Otherwise, it would be like soccer in a way. (Which we all know is a communist sport,because you can't use your hands)
As to the 5 second count, the official said he was between 1 and 2 when it went careening around the concession area.
The coach had a good line, "I don't know what the call is, but I sure don't want any popcorn now!"
