Part 1 - question #64
 

#64 The throw-in is at the designated spot nearest the violation after a goaltending violation by B1.



This statement is word for word from the 2002-03 test, to which the answer key said was true [7-5-2,3].



My opinion is that this statement should be FALSE however, because the points for the basket would be awarded for the violation and the thrower would have the privilege of running the baseline for the throw-in. The official would administer the throw-in by handing or bouncing the ball to the thrower. The action of moving along the baseline does not meet the requirements for the designated spot definition [4-42-6 note]. Am I missing something here?

Our local Assoc. went with false because of the reason you stated....

The answer is false. I know because I missed it!:o

We are never suppose to bounce the ball on the endline. But anyways, you would be correct. Check out 7-5-7.

rule 9-12-1 tells us to do it..."The crediting of the score and subsequent procedure are the same as if the awarded score had resulted from the ball having gone through the basket, except that the official shall hand or bounce the ball to a player of the team entitled to the throw-in."

Certain assignors or state adoption allows the bounce on the end line and some don't. You need to find out what your assignor prefers you do and do that, ours here in kentucky frown on the bounce. They say it's too much like the college game so they don't like it!

Let's clarify this non-bounce on the endline... you all are speaking of f/c throw-ins, correct?

BC throwin due to the awarded basket.

Exactly. Just saying that we don't. I wasn't saying you shouldn't - check local listings. ;)

Bounce or not to Bounce
 

Tail and Center officials can "Bounce" the ball for a Throw in. The Lead official 'Hands' the ball to a player for a throw in. The Lead can "Boune" the ball for a throw in if the throw in occurs along the sideline between the Free Throw line extended and the endline.

That's what I thought. We can bounce or hand in the b/c 'round here, f/c we hand only.


When would the C administer a throw-in?

Good to know.

Is the answer to the test question true or false:confused:

Your question was answered in post #1, 2 & 3

This year's answer key says, "False 7-5-7."
