What's the penalty when a defensive player causes the ball to go OOB? What's the penalty when an offensive player causes the ball to go OOB?


So what should happen on kicked ball, make the player who kicked the ball sit out for a minute?

I have to admit, I'm not understanding your point. You said there's no penalty for a kicked ball. I can sort of understand that when the defense is guilty. They just stop the game and give the ball back to the team that had it.

But my point is that when the offense kicks the ball (or causes it to go out of bounds), there is an obvious penalty. The ball is given to the other team.

The penalty is never severe, like free throws or temporary disqualification; but there is a clear penalty nonetheless.

On a defensive kick, the defensive team often has a good chance at recovering the ball. The penalty removes that opportunity.

In general, throw-ins are more difficult than passes form inbounds locations as a result of only have a limited number of directions that the thrower has to pass the ball. I suppose the idea behind the AP throwin is that the team is allowed to get the ball inbounds (not necessarily to their own team) unless they mess it up....the defense can't prevent it from getting inbounds.

My point is that the offense is always more severely penalized for similar acts because they lose possession. Same thing when both teams violate on the first of 2 free throws. Offense loses a free throw attempt, defense is not hurt at all.
