Player control on a throw in?
 

It's a question on Part 1.

A player is in control when holding a live ball.

But when he is holding the ball for a throw in, it's live, is he in player control then?

What does the rule book say?

Thanks for nothing dude.

I am trying to get clarification.

I don't believe there is player control for a throw in, just team control.

Do you have an opinion? a rule reference?

I don't have a rulebook here in the closet, but if I remember correctly, the definition of player control is holding or dribbling a live ball inbounds. That should answer your question.

Have you even looked in the rule book? Trust me, no one here is going to just hand you the answer to a test question.

Find the section on player control and see if it says anything about the throw in.

Inbounds ???
 

Some, on this Forum, have stated that a player is in control while holding, or dribbling, a live ball, inbounds. I can't find a rule reference for inbounds, but I'm sure an esteemed member will be moseying along soon to give us the correct citation.

How about a twist? Inbounder A1, while holding the ball out of bounds, preparing for a throwin, reaches across the boundary and pushes B2, who is inbounds, to create more space. Player control foul?

4-12-1 defines player control.

Doesn't matter...you aren't shooting free throws.

What if A1, OOB for a throw in, attempts a jump shot. His momentum takes him onto the court where he crashes into B1 before landing....

Doesn't matter...you aren't shooting free throws.

Compare this year's book to the 2009-2010 (and probably last year's) book.

Sorry, I was doing a celebrity imression. It seems to have fallen flat.

Anyone know what a flitter is?
 

Flat as a flitter.

Not that there's anything wrong with that... :D

Then you need to dig one up, too.
