Violation?

[johnsonboys03]

my understanding of the rule is that if you run out of bounds to get clear from your defender it is a technical foul. I believe that was a rule that was implemented just a few years ago.

I haven't seen anywhere that it is a violation

It used to be a technical foul, but it is now a violation. Check Rule 9 for violations, it is in there. I don't have the exact reference since my books are in the car in my bag.

If you were just going to tell me in your first response that it's a technical foul, why ask in the first place?

rule 9-3-3.... A player shall not leave the floor for an unauthorized reason.

PENALTY: (Section 3) The ball is dead when the violation occurs and is
awarded to the opponents for a throw-in from the designated out-of-bounds
spot nearest the violation.

Had it once. Kid ran around a screen and almost knocked me over as the lead. Have warned a few times, but only had it called once.

I've had it once as well, back when it was a T. Kid runs OB for 10', defender stays IB. OB kid uses a screen to set up a trey, and all in a tournament championship game.

Easiest call all night.

I have not ever had to call the violation, but I do make a note to remind a player if in his backdoor cuts, he has a habit of a foot touching the line.

I make this call 5 or 6 times a season. I made it once when it was still a T.

Had it once in a game. Player would run out of bounds between the thrower and defender during throw-ins. Didn't even make sense.

Are you an official? It was changed a few years ago. Gotta keep up with those rule changes.

I am an official...and actually usually pride myself on studying the rule book. I'm only a second year official, but that's not an excuse. I should stop listening to ppl that don't quote the rules to me...I broke my own rule!

Thanks for the imput. I got lazy on this one and asked before researching!

A question for the vets.

If you see an offensive player running OOB, do you generally whistle it immediately, or wait until he gains an advantage of it (i.e., gets the ball)?
