team control on throw in in HS question

[todd66]

I apologize if this has been asked and asnwered in a previous thread.

Would the following scenarion be a violation this year since team control now occurs during a throw in?

Team A inbounds ball from front court oob (does not matter where). A1, standing in frontcourt) then tips the inbounds pass into the backcourt where A2 is the first to touch it.

Logically it should be a violation since A1 touching of the ball gives the ball fornt court status in team control of A. A2 is first to touch in backcourt, therefore violation. Is this correct thinking or am I missing a exception.

Team control on throw-ins is for fouling purposes. No FTs for team B if team A fouls.

A mere touch after the throw-in ends does not establish team control, just like last year.

Team control is already established, so that statement is not true as it pertains to this discussion.

In the NCAA rule set it's the throw-in exception that prevents it from being a a BC violation, not the failure to establish team control.

True story BNR!
A mere touch of the throw-in pass does not constitute player possession although t/c exists...

But PC is not required, per se, for a BC violation. Currently (previously, actually), it's only required because it's needed for TC to exist. The rule change essentially means PC is no longer required for TC.

The rules will have to be re-worded to keep the BC rule the same.

My guess, they won't be, but a case play will be written that references a non-existent requirement (PC) in order to claim it's not a violation.

They will get it right by simply copying the NCAA exceptions.

We have not gotten the fully written out rule, but it's a safe bet to say that this play would not be a backcourt violation due to the exceptions that will be added to the book similar to the NCAA rule.
