Throw-In Location After a Time-Out
I worked a youth tournament today, where I had to bust a myth by the coach.
A-1 is dribbling in the backcourt unguarded. Coach A tells me that as soon as she crosses the division line, he wants a time-out. Odd request, I'm thinking. However, just before she crosses the line, she high-tails it to the basket, giving me no time to look back at the coach, and she draws a foul. The coach didn't want the time-out by then. So far, so good. He later asks me that, in order get the throw-in at the divsion line after a time out, must his play cross the division line before the T-O request? Of course, I tell him "no," and explain the whole "closest spot" bit. It's pretty simple, really. My question is this: Is there a rule set somewhere that could have contributed to this myth? |

If defensive kicks the ball or causes ball to go OOB or creates a held ball then Team A would get unexpired portion of backcourt count or 5 seconds, whichever is more, but not the full 10. |

This is the same reason I disagree with the rule about not granting a time-out when an airborne player is heading out of bounds. If they want to burn a time-out to save a possession, why should it matter if they are airborne or not? It just makes no sense, and it's inconsistent with the rest of the rules. |

IDK why they (wreck coaches/players) think the advance throwin spot is midcourt, its the 28' line. |

And I doubt most coaches even know there's a 28' foot mark on the court much less know it's purpose (it's irreverent for the most part in NFHS). |

Midcourt/Forecourt "Dinosaur" Line ???

Rule reference or mechanic reference? I've always treated this as if it went OOB behind the basket. The violation isn't where it was shot, and it's not on the sideline. It's the basket support itself and thus the throw-in spot is at either lane line on the end line. Same as an offensive FT violation. |
