That's the NBA rule.

I'm reasonably certain that there's an NCAA AR on this point (and the answer is "do not re-set the clock.") I don't have time to look it up now.

Want to continue? Because this is getting very old.

1. There is no team control during a throw-in in NFHS rules.
2. DOG warnings are technically violations, the 2nd of which is enforced with a technical foul.
3. You really think a person has to be in control of the ball to make it go through the hoop? Would a person need to be in control to knock it out of bounds?
4. As for elbow swinging; the point isn't the potential or probability but the rule itself. Few of us have ever seen a player without the ball do it, but some have and I believe some on this board have even called it (rebounders for example.) Another example, one I gave in another thread, would be the thrower on a throwin doing it.

Apparently not old enough b/c some of your reponses to Back in the Saddle are incorrect. :)

And this one:

How about 2 guys battling for low post or rebouding position and one guy gets frustrated and swings his elbow to create space.

I do. You had some very, very basic errors in your rebuttal.

1) There is no player or team control during a throw-in, including when the ball is at the disposal of a team(NFHS case book play 4.12COMMENT)
2) Leaving the floor for an unauthorized reason IS a violation, NOT a technical foul. NFHS rule 9-3-3.
3) Having player or team control has nothing to do with it being a violation for making the ball enter the basket from below. It can go off a player's head on a rebound up through the basket and that is a violation. NFHS rule 9-4.
4) Similarly, the violation for swinging the elbows has got nuthin' to do wwith player or team control either. It might be unlikely, but even if no player or team control is involved it's still a violation to swing your elbows without hitting someone.

Reading time!

Don't take it personally. It's not about being right or wrong. I see you're new, so I thought I would share that the value of this board (for me) is the wealth of knowledge and experience of others, and the willingness for them to help us improve rule knowledge.

Hopefully you will recognize the thorough responses provide you with the relevant information you need. This info might serve you better than than throwing around terms like 'control' and 'violation' without a strong understanding of how they are defined in the rulebook.

I consider myself experienced, but always learn something new about the rules that gives me more confidence to take to the court.

Welcome to the boards, and keep on posting.

NCAA Casebook Rule 2 A.R. 33 should cover this issue.....
