Running the endline after a made hoop

[dbking]

This is directly from the KSHSAA website.

SITUATION OF THE WEEK #1

Team A scores, B1 retrieves the ball and steps out of bounds. B2 steps out of bounds on the opposite side of the end line. B1 bounce passes the ball to B2. Is this legal?

RULING: NFHS Rule 7-5-7a – Any player of the team may make a direct throw-in or he/she may pass the ball along the end line to a teammate(s) outside the boundary. The rule does not specify the ball cannot be bounced to the other player. The ball could be passed via a chest pass, overhead pass, bounce pass or could be rolled to the other player (B2) but all this must take place within 5 seconds.

Kansas may have screwed up on the coaching box rule , but y'all got this one right.

dbking: I agree with you, but would love to see additional citations from outside the Sunflower State, hopefully from the NFHS. What's going on in the Ocean State? Maybe the salt air isn't good for you?

Billy, IMO, we don't need more citations. There's nowhere else where the rules differentiate between a bounce pass and any other kind of pass. Back to what I said on another topic. If it isn't illegal, it's legal. There is no rule that makes this illegal.

I thought that was Mrs. Blogojavich. I must have misread the transcripts.

Unfortunately, like most generalizations, there are exceptions. Still, it works in in the vast majority of cases.
