Baseline Throw In Hits Net...

[Coltdoggs]

I know that if the throw in hits the backside of the backboard, that is OOB.

Had a throw in yesterday that hit the net....I let it go thinking that it was ok but it made me wonder cause I've not seen that in 8 years of officiating.

Really?

It's legal.

Yes...first time the inbound pass from baseline clipped the net in my 8 years of calling games.

Ahh...but what is the call if the throw-in had hit the rim, and landed in-bounds, instead of the net?

Also legal.

Ok, but what if the ball hit the rim, then touched the net (from the inside), continued through the basket, and landed in-bounds?

Why would it not be OK? Is the net OOB?

As long as were in the neighborhood -

What if the throw-in lodges betwixed the rim and backboard?

Has the thrower met his obligations in 9-2, specifically 9-2-8?

Are you talking about the backboard the rim is attached to or the other backboard? Becasue, if it is the other backboard, that means we've got bigger problems!!!!

Violation!

Here is a fundamental I would use. If it aint OOB then it must be in bounds.

The only times ball is OOB (see 7-1-2) touches player who is OOB, touches person, floor, or object on or outside boundary, the supports or back of backboard, the ceiling, overhead equipment, or supports, or passing over a rectangle backboard...

It's not one of these, it must be in and legal.

Not quite the case on a throwin, but the OP doesn't break any specific throwin rules, either.

Just cuz I'm in a buried in the book, 'precise language' mood....

Baseline = 'End line'
Rim = 'Basket' which consists of the 'Ring' and 'Flange' and/or 'Braces'.

No offense to anyone. I just wish I could stop calling it 'the key'!!
