Defender slaps ball out of inbounder's hands

[tophat67]

What's the call if the ball has been released by the player inbounding the ball, but is still on the out of bounds side of the line and is touched by the defender? Is the ball awarded to the same inbounding team again for another inbounds play?

Most of the questions can be answered by the wording in 9-2 (penalty 3) and 10-3-10. The technical foul is for reaching through the boundary plane and dislodging the ball while it is in possession of the thrower or being passed between teammates out of bounds.

So the answer to your question depends on where the thrower was throwing the ball. If he was throwing to a teammate OOB, T. If he had released the throwin pass, play on.

Not to pick nits but is the T for dislodging or for simply touching the ball?

Yes, according to 10-3-10. Typed that out to quickly.

Got it. I was scrambling for my book because I was afraid I had not remembered correctly.
