As you know, my experience goes back to the Naismith days but I had a situation in last night's 8th grade boys game that was a first for me.
A1 had a habit of "dribbling" the ball whenever he was going to inbound. As long as he kept the ball hitting OOB, he's fine, and he would always grab the ball and inbound within five seconds. In the third quarter, he was doing it again and B1 reached across and hit the ball during one of the dribbles. As I said, I've never had this happen before. OK you guys, is it just a DOG warning or is it a technical (the same as if B1 hit the ball while A1 was holding it)? My partner was the calling official and he called it a DOG warning. I didn't challenge it and neither did either of the coaches. Were we right or wrong?

He may not touch or dislodge the ball while in possession of the thrower. If he is bouncing the ball, he is in possession.

Based on the dictionary definition of "in possession," since there is no rulebook
definition.

Common sense. Are you going to allow B1 to bat the ball away so there's a 5-second violation on A? Once A has the ball, they "posess" it until it's released on an inbounds pass. |

What if A1 fumbles the ball on the out of bounds side, then B1 reaches over and touches the ball?
|

I would still consider him to be in possession.

We can argue about the semantics of "possession" in this instance, but either way, I'm not calling a T in Mark's OP. |

Agree. My common sense says to use the same basic concept as player control-"holding or dribbling a live ball".

Except the rules explicitly say that there is no player control on a throw in.
