inbound
 

on the inbound...can an inbounder dribble the ball??? can he throw a bounce pass inbounds....if the ball first touches out of bounds before reaching an offensive teammate??

1. The thrower can dribble the ball. The five second count would still continue.
2. If the throw-in was an unrestricted end line throw-in, the passer could throw a bounce pass to a teammate who is also out of bounds. The five second count would still continue.
3. The thrower can not throw a bounce pass that hits out of bounds and comes inbounds. This would be a violation for not passing the ball directly inbounds.
