Throw-In BC Violation

[shishstripes]

I am trying to understand the situation where A1 is the thrower during a spot throw-in near the division line. B1 touches the ball and A2 jumps from FC, catches the ball, and lands in BC. BC violation. But if B1 does not touch it, A2 is fine.

When B1 touches the ball throw-in ends so A2's location is FC where he took off last. However if B1 does not touch, throw-in ends when A2 catches it (in the air) and location is not established until A2 lands?

You seem to understand it. I'm not a fan of it, but I understand it.

It may be cold in Ak but you have the rule correct. It is a coach ballistic rule. I have never seen it happen, good thing!

Thank you for confirming for me. It is a balmy -8 here on the NW coast but a chilly -44 in Fairbanks.

Another twist. If a1, while in the air from the front court, catches and then passes to a2 in the backcourt this also is a violation. So much to think about!

But wouldn't team control have to be established first in the front court for it to be a violation.

Any case play on this?

-8?? That's a whole half-a-degree warmer than my hometown of Soldotna is right now!!

The acception rule only applies to the first one to touch, offence or defence. Once the ball is touched the provision no longer applies.

This exception to the exception (ball tipped by B2 negates the normal exception permitted A2) is one of these situations that I understand completely, but with which I disagree completely as well.

Such over and back violations cause angst every time we call them. This is right up there with the last-touch-first-touch over and back violation.

"Location" is established in either case. The second, though, isn't a violation because of a specific exception in the rules.
