In my sophomore season, I bounce-passed the ball to thrower-in A1. She bobbled it, and it went right to A2, her intended target and the only player within 35 feet. I let it go, but I was told later that was wrong.

Got a rule reference?

I don't. I'm not sure the book says something either way. It was just a vet's advice.

It's not a requirement. How many times, when the official bounces it to the thrower, have you seen a player tap the ball inbounds without grabbing it?

Plenty of times, but only after a basket, and that's nothing that requires administration, anyway. When there's administration, I've always made sure the thrower-in controlled the ball.

I see it often with no pressure in the BC. I bounce the ball to the thrower, and he just taps it to his teammate in bounds.

But even when there's no admin, the rule is the same for this; nonexistent.

In your play, if A1 had fumbled the ball into a violation, get it back and readminister. Otherwise, play on.

If the thrower purposely taps the ball to a player inbounds, I'd consider that controlled.

...you mean like a "controlled tap"?

Play:

A1 attempts a shot...the ball bounces off the rim...A2 "controlls a tap" into backcourt. A3 recovers the ball in backcourt.

Watta ya got?

Nothing. Play on.

I'm not talking about a play where establishing team control is an issue. I mean controlled in the sense that the player meant to tap the ball inbounds and didn't merely lose control of the ball or never obtained control of it.
