Here is a fun situation. How would you rule? It'll make you think.

Teams are White and Blue

Held ball. Arrow points to White's Basket. Possession award to White on the Alternating Possession procedure. On the throw-in, the thrower tries an alley-oop type pass but has the ball lodge inbetween the rim and the backboard. The ball was last touched by the thrower.

You blow your whistle and rule:

Who gets the ball?
Where do they get the ball?
What happens to the possession arrow?

-Scott

The best way to "make-up" for a bad call, is to get the next one right.

Cute one!

A violated on the throwin so B gets the ball & the arrow. Since B's throw-in is not an AP sitch B keeps the arrow.

Rule 9 Violations and Penalties
SECTION 2 THROW-IN PROVISIONS
A player shall not violate the following provisions governing the throw-in.
The thrower shall not:
ART. 8 . . . Throw the ball so it lodges between the backboard and ring or comes to rest on the flange before it touches or is touched by another player.

Clear violation on inbounding team. Violation on A ends the AP throw-in, causing arrow to switch to B. Because this lodging of the ball is a violation not an AP situation (as it normally is), B keeps arrow and gets ball OOB for throw-in.

Closest to where the violation occurred. Which would be baseline on the side of the basket in which the ball lodged.

Yep!

B gets the ball for a throw-in
Baseline for spot throw-in
AP awwrow switches on the violation to B.

Are you sure? On a throwin violation the ball goes back to the spot of the throwin.

Now that I think about it Dan Ref is right. The lodged ball is not the violation it is the failure to legally complete the throwin.

Can I change my answer?
You are absolutly right Dan
Case Book 9.2.8
"Team B's ball at the throw-in spot"

Nice job.
