SITUATION 3: During an alternating-possession throw-in by Team A, B1 breaks the plane of the boundary line. The official
stops play. RULING: Team B is issued a warning for breaking the throw-in plane. Since the original alternating-possession
throw-in had not ended, the ball is again awarded to Team A and remains an alternating-possession throw-in. Any type of

further delay by Team B results in a team technical foul. (4-42-5; 4-47-1; 6-4-4; 7-6-4; 10-1-5c)

==================

4.42.5 SITUATION:

Team A is awarded an alternating-possession throw-in.
A1’s throw-in pass is illegally kicked by B2. RULING: As a result of B2’s kicking
violation, Team A is awarded a new throw-in at the designated spot nearest to
where the kicking violation (illegal touching) occurred. Since the alternating-possession
throw-in had not been contacted legally, the throw-in has not ended and
therefore, the arrow remains with Team A for the next alternating-possession
throw-in. COMMENT: The kicking violation ends the alternating-possession
throw-in and as a result, a non-alternating-possession throw-in is administered.
When the ball is legally touched on the subsequent throw-in following the kicking

violation, the arrow shall not be changed and shall remain with Team A.
=================================
(Note by Nevadaref: By rule 4-42-5, the kicking violation by the non-throwing team is NOT one of the three items listed which would end the alternating possesion throw-in. The NFHS should have written "interrupts" or "stops" rather than "ends.")

Wow, that's a new one for me. Great post.
