Throw in

[phansen]

NFHS

Spot throw in for team A. A1 winds up for a long baseball pass, but the ball slips out of his hand and bounces about 8 feet to his side. 7-6-3 says this is a throw in violation because he'd have to leave the spot to retreive the ball(unless he had really long arms). What if this happened after a made basket on the end line. Would he be allowed to recover the loose ball and still inbound it providing the 5 second count hadn't elapsed?

Absolutely...In fact if he looses it directly backward, he can retrieve is on a spot throw in as well.

Remember that even after a made basket, the player can not go past the sideline extended. Don't recall the exact rule for reference.

That's not what 7-6-3 says: it's NOT a violation for the ball to bounce away from the throw-in spot.

It IS a violation for the thrower to leave the spot to retrieve it, or to allow 5 seconds to elapse before the ball crosses the plane on a pass into the court.

If the ball bounces away during a spot throw-in you have to wait for the violation to occur. The defense might help them out, for example, by reaching across and contacting the ball.

If I can possibly do so, I'm going to judge that this was a throw-in pass (a poor one, to be sure) and have a violation for the pass not going directly inbounds.

Stole my thunder. Ditto.

This is (unfortunately) NOT a violation in NCAA:

NCAA
A.R. 178. A1, on a throw-in from a designated spot, fumbles. A1 leaves the designated spot to retrieve the fumble. Is this a violation?
RULING: No. Since there was a fumble, the official shall blow his/her whistle, which causes the ball to become dead, and then shall readminister the throw-in.
(Rule 4-31.1 and 7-6.5)


NFHS
*9.2.1 SITUATION B: A1, out of bounds for a designated spot throw-in: (a) muffs the pass from the official and it rolls forward; or (b) after receiving the ball from the official, fumbles the ball and leaves the designated spot to retrieve the fumble.
RULING: In (a), the official should sound the whistle to prevent any violations and then start the throw-in procedure again. No throw-in violation should be called in this situation. In (b), a throw-in violation shall be called on A1 for leaving the designated spot.

They want us to call a violation on the shooter when, during a free throw, the shooter loses the ball (after having control) and it bounces away so that he cannot retrieve it. They do not want us to pass go (wait for 5 seconds or for a timeout by the throwin team), they want us to go directly to the violation.

Other than being a free throw instead of a throw in, how is this different? The concept seems the same to me.
