Throw-in, Double Foul

And what a throw-in foul should be? Until the end of the throw-in? Certainly not, because the ball could be only deflected. So?

Of course in FIBA rules there's team control during a throw-in (and you can't pass in the backcourt if the throw-in is in the frontcourt).

Excellent question, but it has a very easy solution. I never meant to invent a new class of fouls called "throw-in fouls". You'd have to say that a team control foul occurs when a member of the throw-in team commits a common foul during the throw-in and until the ball is controlled inbounds.

I'd do this differently, and say until the throwin ends. I like the idea of a "loose ball" foul with neither team in control if the ball's been tipped and there's a scrum.
