One Question NCAA/NFHS, One Situation

[MOofficial]

Question:

In high school there is no team control on a throw in. Team A is throwing the ball in from their front court and a kid throws it to his team mate and it hits off his hand and goes into the back court. He goes to retrieve the ball in the back court, we have nothing.

Now in NCAA there is team control during a throw in. Use the same situation as above. Do you have a backcourt violation? Why or why not? I'm leaning towards no backcourt violation but I want to know the exact wording. Thanks

Situation:

Had a game last night., 4th quarter, Team A is down 55-56 with a throw-in under their basket. Girl catches the ball on the wing and gets fouled as time expires, partner and I double up on the whistle as it was a no doubter. 00.0 on the clock, we shoot the free throws with the lane cleared. Girl shoots the first free throw and its just short. Coach from team A wants a time out, we granted it asking our self why would he want to ice his own shooter because what else are they going to talk about in the huddle other than the missed free throw. My question is can we actually grant that t.o? I'm assuming that we could but if anyone has a rule reference it would be great. Thanks!

It is not a backcourt violation

NCAA

7-6
Art. 9. After the throw-in ends, an inbounds player in the front court who is not in control of the ball may cause the ball to go into the back court.

Here's a case book play:

A.R. 217. The ball is at the disposal of Team A for a throw-in. A1 attempts to throw the inbounds pass to A2, who is located in his/her front court near the division line. (1) A1’s pass is deflected by B1. A2 leaves the playing court in his/her front court and while airborne, controls the ball, and then lands with one or both feet on the back court. (2) A1’s throw-in pass is deflected by B1. The ball bounces into Team A’s front court. While the ball is bouncing in Team A’s front court, it is deflected into Team A’s back court where A3 retrieves it. (3) A1’s throw-in pass is deflected by A2 who fumbles it into the back court. A2 then goes into the back court and recovers the fumble.

RULING: (1) Violation. When B1 deflected A1’s inbounds pass, his/ her legal touching caused the throw-in to end. A1, having established front court status when he/she left Team A’s front court, gained player and team control in the air. When A1 lands with one or both feet in his/ her backcourt, he/she has committed a backcourt violation. The exception to the backcourt rules are only applicable for the player who made the initial touch on the ball. (Rule 4-68.4 and 4-3)

(2) Legal. This is not a back-court violation since neither player nor team control had not been established in the front court.

(3) Legal. This is not a back-court violation since neither player nor team control had not been established in the front court. (Rule 9-12.1)

And to answer the second part of your question, yes a timeout could be granted to either team since the ball was dead. The only restriction on time outs with no time left to end the fourth quarter or any extra period is that no successive timeouts will be granted.
