Ball hit net from OOB
 

Is the ball dead when A1 takes the ball after a made basket and throws it toward A2, but the balll first hist the net. If so, where is the spot for the throw-in?

No, the ball isn't dead. The net is in-bounds.

Not 100% sure but I think only the back of the backboard is out of bounds on an inbound play. I'll have to check the reference (or lack there of) if one of the sagacious vets doesn't beat me! ;)

You mean, the same as on any other play. Out of bounds is out of bounds. The throw-in has nothing to do with it.

It's twue, it's twue! ;)

Thanks
 

Thank-you

Happened in my game tonight....
 

Play on......

Oh yeah, I had to flip the net down on he next dead ball too.

Doesn't seem to happen in my games too much. Shrug.

I remember being told that the net was out of bounds too. WRONGO! I wonder how that got started.

RULE 4, SECTION 13 COURT AREAS
ART. 1 . . . The frontcourt of a team consists of that part of the court between
its end line and the nearer edge of the division line, including its basket and the
inbounds part of the backboard.

RULE 1, SECTION 10 BASKET SIZE, MATERIAL
ART. 1 . . . Each basket shall consist of a single metal ring, 18 inches in inside
diameter, its flange and braces, and a white-cord 12-mesh net, 15 to 18 inches in
length, suspended from beneath the ring.

There are six sides to a backboard and only one is out of bounds is how how I like to describe it

Well........yeah. And that one side is out of bounds, if a throw-in pass hits it........or any other live ball hits it, which is the point I was trying to make.

My bad, I should have finished my thought. I was going to say that I knew that it was a violation on a throw-in if the ball goes through the basket without being touched or if it gets wedged between the rim and the back board. Both of which aren't violations when occur when the ball is live and in play.

Probably by people who don't know the rules trying to act like they do.
