Throw-in spot
 

A designated throw-in spot is 3 feet wide with no depth limitation.

Who You Gonna Call ??? Mythbusters ...
 

A player inbounding the ball may step on, but not over the line. During a designated spot throwin, the player inbounding the ball must keep one foot on or over the three-foot wide designated spot. An inbounding player is allowed to jump or move one or both feet. A player inbounding the ball may move backward as far as the five-second time limit or space allows. If player moves outside the three-foot wide designated spot it is a violation, not travelling. In gymnasiums with limited space outside the sidelines and endlines, a defensive player may be asked to step back no more than three feet. A player inbounding the ball may bounce the ball on the out-of-bounds area prior to making a throwin.

Can anyone join in?

A successful two point shot is worth two points.

OK - your turn. :rolleyes:

Them bats is smart, they use radar.

These three threads are questions from the Part II exam, BTW.

Good things come to those that wait.

Speaking of throw-ins, I was watching a replay of Seattle University vs. Denver University the other day. Whenever Denver was inbounding the ball it was a 2-person throw-in. 2 players out of bounds, with one OOB player passing it to the other OOB player then passing inbounds.

How often is this actually done?

It is legal following any made goal or awarded goal (The throwing team retains this right if the opponent commits a common foul or violation during the throw-in and the new spot would be along the end line.), but probably only 25% of the time will teams actually have more than one player OOB or even bother to have a single player run the end line.

Can you believe this?
 

CHSEAGLE actually took this thread, which we so clearly took OT, and tried to make it useful? :eek:

OK, where were we?.....ah yes, "people who live in grass houses shouldn't stow throwns."

I thought the quote was "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones" LMAO :D

See proof that I'm making an effort to learn :eek:

Speaking of learning, gonna be watching the T-Mobile National Invitational later on today on CBS College Sports.

Concerning the 2 players OOB throw-in, it's covered under 7-5-7a in the rules book.

"I don't care to belong to a club that accepts people like me as members".

I have been a little surprised at the number of teams I've seen that don't seem to know that this is legal.

And you almost never see a HS team have a married player run the end line. :p
