Out of bounds
 

A1 from the backcourt throws a long pass to A2 who is in the front court,
ball gets away from A2 and is going oob,
A2 saves the ball before it goes oob but A2 lands oob ,
A2 returns gets both feet inbound and is first to gather the ball.:eek:

What do you have?:rolleyes:

Thanks.

A legal play.

Guessing you have had a discussion about this play with someone. Did anybody find a rule or case play that says it should be a violation?

Yep. I've got nothing there too.

Agreed, at least under FED and NCAA rules. (some other codes *might* be different)

Along with the others, I'll just add that one foot down would have been sufficient provided the other foot was no longer touching OOB.

7.1.1 SITUATION B: A1 blocks a pass near the end line. The ball falls to the
floor inbounds, but A1, who is off balance, steps off the court. A1 returns
inbounds, secures control of the ball and dribbles. RULING: Legal. A1 did not
leave the court voluntarily and did not have control of the ball when he/she did.
This situation is similar to one in which A1 makes a try from under the basket and
momentum carries A1 off the court. If the try is unsuccessful, A1 may come back
onto the court and regain control since A1 did not leave the court voluntarily and
did not have control of the ball when he/she did.
7.1.1 SITUATION C: A1 blocks a pass near the sideline and the ball goes into
A1’s front court. A1’s momentum carries him/her out of bounds. He/she immediately
returns inbounds, secures control of the ball, dribbles, shoots, and scores.
RULING: Legal. (4-35-1a; 7-1-2; 9-3)
7.1.1 SITUATION D: A1 jumps from inbounds to retrieve an errant pass near a
boundary line. A1 catches the ball while in the air and tosses it back to the court.
A1 lands out of bounds and (a) is the first to touch the ball after returning
inbounds; (b) returns inbounds and immediately dribbles the ball; or (c) picks up
the ball after returning to the court and then begins a dribble. RULING: Legal in
(a) and (b). Illegal in (c) as the controlled toss of the ball to the court by A1 constitutes
the start of a dribble, dribbling a second time after picking up the ball is
an illegal dribble violation. (4-15-5; 4-15-6d; 4-35; 9-5)

Sounds like they are trying to apply a football rule. ;)

Had this play in a Christmas tourney several years...fans went nuts when I didn't make a call. :D
