Question: T on throw-in
Situation:
Boys JV, NF rules. 4th quarter, tied game (not that it should matter). A1 is inbounding the ball from his backcourt endline; team B is in full-court press. B1 is shadowing the ball at the throw-in spot. A1 releases the ball to pass onto the floor, B1 deflects it out of bounds. Official calls T on B1, awards team A 2 shots and the ball. Official explains that B1 touched the ball (in the air) over the plane of the endline. (From my vantage, B1 touched the ball when it had legally crossed the plane, but that was the explanation). My question: Is this a T (using the official's version) and, if not, what is it? 9-2-10 reads: Quote:
Thanks in advance! |
From the way you tell it, the official doesn't know the rule.
Now, if the defender's hand was over the line before it was released, he could perhaps call the DOG violation (and even a T if it was not the first DOG of the game). Question: Was it a spot throwin? If not, was A1 throwing to a teammate OOB along that endline? If so, it would be a T. |
This is not a T.
The only time you can call a T once the ball is released is if it's after a made basket, the ball is inside the throw-in plane and it's being passed to a team mate inside the throw-in plane. |
