Spot throw-in violation in playoff game.
 

Kudos to the guy who made that call.

Garner was undefeated this year, and this game went into Triple OT. The call essentially sealed the game for New Hanover.

I believe that's a big error by the official. Did both feet move away from the throw-in spot? I don't think so.

Am I wrong or the official made a traveling signal? :eek:

Ciao

Absolutely he moved both feet away from the spot. It certainly didn't look like a travel signal to me. Instead, it looked like he moved his hands from the right side of his body to the left side of his body to indicate the player left the spot.

1) I know that's the correct call by the official. The thrower has to keep one foot on or over a 3 foot wide spot until the ball is released on the throw-in. In that play, the thrower didn't. Obvious violation imo.

2) You're wrong. The official gave the correct signal under NFHS rules---> signal #26.

0 for 2.

Great call. Good signal. I had this happen in a college semi final confrence game Friday night. First time ever in a college game for this violation.

You're wrong and you're wrong. So's the announcer. Clearly that inbounds was not immediately subsequent to a made basket - the timeout had nothing to do with it.

He clearly left the spot of the throw-in (he started on the left side of the N and ended up right on the left side of the S) and the official's mechanics couldn't have been better.

And number 21 showed a lot of class :rolleyes: at the time of the call and after the game, too.

No brainer. By not calling it, you are penalizing the defense and the other team.

Cripes
 

What video did you watch?

~Sigh~

T

To be fair, no footballer in Europe is ever called for a violation for throwing the ball in 20 yards from the spot.

Wait a minute
 

My interp of the video was that the inbound play was following a made basket. If not, why was the announcer making a point about the timeout taking away the right to run the endline which, of course, is wrong. If that was the case, then the official blew the call and screwed over that team!

They had a FC throw-in. Spot.

He was just a little into the game....... :rolleyes:

Inquiring Minds Want To Know ...
 

I know very little about soccer rules, and have always questioned this. How far away from the place where the ball went out of bounds are they legally allowed to move?

Mark, re-watch he video with the sound down. You'll figure it out a lot better without the announcer.

I don't officiate soccer. I know that we had to be within about 6 ft of the spot when I played, but that was long ago and it was not FIFA rules. Corner kicks taken broke ties rather than PKs back then.
