Out of bounds question

[marcovan]

On a made basket, I know the player can run the baseline to pass. Here is another scenario that I'm not sure about

Basket is made by opposing team, player 1 grabs the ball and calls out his play, player 2 runs out of bounds, player 1 passes him the ball once player 2 is completely out of bounds, player 1 goes inbound after making the pass to player 2, player 2 inbounds the ball to player 1. Is this legal?

Thanks

Completely legal.

1) The player can run the "endline". Baseball has a "baseline." (I'm sure someone would've clarified that...)
2) "How much time did this situation take?" is an important consideration. Can you clarify? If the player inbounds causes a delay in the "making the ball available to the thrower" process, there might be a situation begging rectification.

Legal after a made or awarded basket.

Seriously though...

5 seconds once the ball is at the dissposal (in the officials judgment). when player 1 "grabs the ball and calls out his play" I'm starting my count.

I stand corrected on "endline". No delay, all within the 5 seconds.

Thanks to all for the replies!

Sounds like you're good to go. Great question!
Keep tuned to the discussion board here and keep in constant touch with the dynamic fraternity of those like me who admittedly have no social life to speak of outside the lines.
Well, others might. I don't.

Sigh, no it doesn't. As I pointed out the last time this came up, baseball has foul lines (which are fair) and runners can establish base paths, but there are no baselines in baseball.

Isn't estabilishing baselines involved somewhere in steroid testing? If so, then it's definitely a baseball thing.

And if not, then there are basslines in musical chairs (or at least in funky musical chairs).
