Line violation

[Refsmitty]

I think it is and have called it once this year because the foot is breaking the plane - much like a free throw violation -

So...if a player is holding the ball and they are standing on one foot inbounds and the other foot is "hanging" over the sideline, they are OOB?

Really? What rule does it violate?

[Refsmitty]

[Adam]

Now, here's a play:

A1 OOB for a throw in, takes a running start and leaps over the line before releasing the throwin pass. By the time he releases the pass, both feet are definitively over the in bounds area.

Call?

Based on what I learned from this thread -I would go with 'nothing', but I will do some reading on it as well.

Actually, I was thinking it's a violation based on leaving the throw-in spot.

However, I'm not positive, as the definition of throw-in spot only specifies width while pointedly stating there is no depth limitation. Since it doesn't say anything about having a boundary equal to the boundary line, I have to say you're right. It's nothing.

Right, there's no depth limitation either way.

I disagree. The designated throw-in spot is entirely OOB. If the thrower does not have one foot over the OOB area, then he does not have at least one foot on or over the designated throw-in spot. I'd call a violation.

I don't work, just play, but would think traveling, unless it's after a made basket.

The traveling and dribble rules are not in effect during a throw-in.

4.42.6 SITUATION: Following a personal foul by B3, the official indicates to
Team A that they shall inbound the ball from a spot 10 feet from the sideline. In
(a), A1 jumps in the air, over the designated spot, and passes the ball inbounds;
(b) A1 has one foot within the designated-spot area but lifts it from the floor as
the inbounds pass is made; or (c) A1 moves directly backwards from the designated
spot by 6 feet and passes the ball inbounds. RULING: Legal in (a), (b) and
(c). As long as the thrower maintains any portion of his/her body on or above the
3-foot designated-spot area while making the throw-in, the throw-in shall be
legal.

LEAVING DESIGNATED SPOT
7.6.3 SITUATION: A1 is out of bounds for a designated-spot throw-in. The
administering official has designated the spot and put the ball at A1’s disposal. In
order to avoid some of the defensive pressure near the throw-in spot, A1 takes
several steps directly backward, but keeps one foot on or over the designated
area prior to releasing the ball on a throw-in pass. RULING: Legal throw-in. It is
permissible for the thrower to move backward or forward within the 3-foot-wide
designated area without violating and he/she may move laterally if at least one
foot is kept on or over the designated area until the ball is released. The thrower
may also jump vertically and pass from the designated throw-in spot. COMMENT:
Pivot-foot restrictions and the traveling rule are not in effect for a throw-in. The
thrower must keep one foot on or over the spot until the ball is released.
