Another throw-in question

[Mark Padgett]

Seeing the thread on the throw-in question reminded me of a question that came up in a rec league referee meeting. NF rules - A1 to inbound on the endline after a basket by team B. A2 is also standing OOB on the endline. A1 passes the ball to A2 - this is legal. However, can A2 then pass the ball back to A1, who is still OOB, to inbound? Assume this all happens within 5 seconds.

Why wouldn't she be allowed to do that?

That reminds me of something our board's interpreter brought up recently.

Let's keep Mark's scenario, but add an A3 OOB. According to our interpreter, an OOB pass from A1 to A2 is legal, and going back to A1 is okay, but not to a third player that's also OOB on the end line.

Never have I seen such a thing, nor did I bother to look up a citation. Anyone ever hear of this?

Why is it illegal?

Man, combining that with recent threads, bainsey, methinks your interpreter needs to be impeached by IAABO. He just doesn't have a clue.

Lah me.......

Not sure that's allowed under our constitution. It's fourteen pages long, so give me time to read up on this to confirm, or deny.

You'll have to aim higher then, JR, because my interpreter got that ruling from someone on a national IAABO level.

Your intepreter is wrong:
Rule 7-5 Art. & specifically states that ' any player may direct throw-in or he/she may pass the ball along the end line to a teammates(s) outside the boundary. " Note teamamte(s) is plural...wow..I think you need a new interprter.

[ronald]

let's see.

A says he got ruling from his guy who got it from national level

B and C and everybody else says that is wrong, can't be etc.

I say: call the national level and ask them. That is the only way to really resolve this. Now we will find out who thinks they are too good to do that. and yes it comes down to that in the end.
