So what do I tell the guy that when I tell him it doesn't allow for it in the book and him saying "It doesn't NOT allow for it either"?

Besides that he isn't suppose to use a double negative in a proper sentence?

Where does the mechanic say to stand when administering a throw-in in the backcourt?

Thanks fellas.

Do either of you have a reference where it says that?

Current manual, 2.2.2 General Throw-in Provisions:

C. End Line:
1. All end line throw-ins shall be made from outside the thrower; between the sideline and the thrower. (p. 21)

Ed Maeder

Check 3.2.2C 2&3 Pg.53

Ed has the right reference. Since you can't find your Officials Manual, the verbage is as follows:

3.2.2(C)3 Backcourt end line throw-ins by the Trail shall be made outside the thrower.

Perfect. Thanks guys.....you are all on my christmas mailing list again 😉

All I ask is that you stop sending your snow this way.

Clark Kent

I remember the mantra: "bounce it on the sidelines, hand it on the baseline"...

There is nothing in the Mechanics Manual about not bouncing the ball in the backcourt - including on the end line.

3.2.2.A.8 specifically says " When administering throw-ins on the frontcourt end line the ball shall be handed to the thrower.

That doesn't mean you won't get chastised for bouncing it though!

Just one more reason we do not use that book. 😉

Really? I've never been chastised for bouncing on the endline in the BC. But I'm not bouncing it across the lane, either.

With no pressure, stand around the FT Line extended and bounce the ball back to the endline. Drives me bananas,but apparently its allowed when your name is Tim Higgins.
