B1 scores a FG. B2 intentionally kicks the ball after A1 releases it on the inbound pass. Does A retain the right to run the baseline?

If the ball is to be put back at the baseline and no possession was gained before the kick.

Agree. Too bad I have no rule book today to look it up (damn early work meetings)

You really do not need it, that is what we are here for. :D They changed this rule a year ago to reflect the NCAA Rule.

Peace

So, when does that rule end? Doesn't it end when the ball is released on the throw-in?

I thought the rule covered violations/fouls committed by B PRIOR to the ball being in-bounded. I don't have my rule books here either, but if someone can quote the rule as to when it ends, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks.

A portion of this article says:

... the throw-in from... any point outside the end line. A team retains this privilege if the scoring team commits a violation or foul (before the bonus is in effect) on the ensuing throw-in if the resulting throw-in spot would be on the endline.

And there you are...

OK

So if the ball is kicked AFTER the ball is released on a throw-in, the throw in has ended and therefore this rule is not enforced....correct?

Not correct...the throw in does not end until the ball is legally touched on the court...since kicking the ball is not legal touching, your throw-in never ended and they still get to run the baseline...

The Case Book covers this situation specifically.

7.5.7 Situation B: Team A scores a field goal. B1 pickes up the ball after the made basket, then proceeds out of bounds to start the throw-in process. B1 runs along the end line out of bounds while attempting to find an open teammate for the throw-in. Immediately after B1 releases the throw-in pass, (my emphasis) the ball is kicked by A2...near the end line...

Ruling: A2 has violated by kicking the ball...Team B will be awarded a throw-in and retain the right to run the end line on the ensuing throw-in.

Thanks. That should put an end to this one.

Exactly! The point of the rule was not to penalize the throw-in team for the defense's actions - if the defense does something wrong (violates or fouls), the offense should not be penalized by removing the ability to run the end line.
