Inbound question

[Hugh Refner]

NF rules. A1 to inbound on the end line. His inbounds pass hits the bottom (not the back) of the backboard and then hits down on the court inbounds. Is this a violation?

What if he was inbounding from the side line and his inbounds pass hit the rim then the court inbounds? Violation?

Thanks.

It's not a violation to throw the ball off the backboard or basket on a throw-in.

5 parts of the backboard are in bouds, the front, top, both sides, and bottom. As long as the ball doesn't strike the back of the glass, or support hardware its play on.

What parts of the backboard are OOB? Answer that and you will know the answer to your first question.

On the second question, what would be illegal about it? Throwing the ball into the basket from OOB is illegal, but is there a rule about simply hitting the rim with a throw-in?

Sorry to you guys that answered ahead of me...I was trying to get him to look in the book and find this stuff.
