inbound on endline, not UT vs. UA

When you are administering the inbounding of the ball at the endline and becoming new T... do you bounce, toss, or hand ball to player?

FC or BC endline? I'm assuing BC since you note 'new T.'

If so, I bounce.

It depends. Often, if there is a press set up, I will hand the ball to the player. Although, I see the advantages of bouncing. This is something I am working on, as I hand the ball to the player 100% of the time on the FC endline and 75% of the time elsewhere.

Backcourt and lets make it interesting and assuming they are pressing full court and it is a tight game...

In IL, we (are supposed to) hand the ball.

So, if you're asking "what's the correct way?" (as opposed to just taking a poll to see what everyone does), you'll have to ask your state / local mechanics authority.

If I'm not on the FC endline, I'm bouncing probably 90% of the time. A press doesn't really change that for me, as I'm going to want a wider angle anyway.

Thanks Bob, just taking a poll... In TX we are instructed to hand the ball but I agree that bouncing opens me up to a better view, especially two man mechanics.

If it's FC, I hand (never toss). If it's BC, I usually bounce, though handing is an option.

I bounce. Press or not. I will get close to tell player whether it's a designated or non-designated spot throw-in then then step away before I bounce the ball.

Where is this and by whom? We have been instructed to hand only for a FC end line throw in and bounce all other times.

We're instructed to hand the ball to the thrower on the endline in the FC and when there's pressure anywhere.

Why? I do not know. Does anyone else have a reason for handing the ball to the thrower, other than being instructed to?

Like many other, I always hand on the endline in FC and always bounce on sidelines or the endline in BC

I want the wider vision every chance I get.

On a designated spot throw-in, I'll hand the thrower the ball.

When it is following a goal and the privilege of running the end line is allowed, I'll bounce it to him so as to be out of his way.

We hand the ball because officials try to get ahead of the play when they bounce (2 or 3 Person).

Peace
