Inbound pass goes to team mate OOB

No time taken off of clock, right?

I disagree. The touching itself was legal. The position of the player was not. The game clock should start and stop very quickly.

I agree (if he's disagreeing with Nevada).

The violation first is that he was out of bounds. The touching of the ball would happen at the same time while he's still out of bounds. I wouldn't take any time off the clock. Would be a good question to bring up with my buddies when we go out after our games tomorrow.

For the record, I've changed my mind on this since this previous thread:
5-9-4 unannounced change

I now agree with Snaqwells point in post #9. If the touch is legal and reverses the AP arrow, then it must be legal for the clock starting as well. We need to be consistent.

What made me change my mind was the NFHS publishing this interpretation about a month after that thread:

2007-08 NFHS Basketball Interpretations:

SITUATION 3: During an alternating-possession throw-in for Team A, thrower A1 passes the ball directly on the court where it contacts (a) A2 or (b) B2, while he/she is standing on a boundary line. RULING: Out-of-bounds violation on (a) A2; (b) B2. The player was touched by the ball while out of bounds, thereby ending the throw-in. The alternating-possession arrow is reversed and pointed toward Team B's basket when the throw-in ends (when A2/B2 is touched by the ball). A throw-in is awarded at a spot nearest the out-of-bounds violation for (a) Team B; (b) Team A. (4-42-5; 6-4-4; 9-2-2; 9-3-2)

And, if the clock does not start, how much time do you take off? Do you have an official's count, or some other definite knowledge, to back up how much time is deducted?

Conversely, you're watching the clock while your partner calls this violation, and you see the clock start, but not stop for a few seconds after, how much time do you put back on? Iow, at what time did the violation occur after the clock (properly?) started? Again, is there definite knowledge?
