Oob, why?

9-6-7 "A dribbler shall (not) ... attempt to dribble between ... an opponent and a boundary unless the space is such as to provide a reasonable chance for him/her to go through without contact."

I think Bob meant 10-6-7. Also, see 4-7
Art 2
c. There must be reasonable space between two defensive players or a defensive player and a boundary line to allow the dribbler to continue in his/her path. If there is less than 3 feet of space, the dribbler has the greater responsibility for the contact.

I seem to remember playing playground basketball as a teenager and having "forced out" calls made. The subsequent throwin went to the team who was "forced out". There was no foul called. This was before I ever played a basketball game with a real referee. Anybody else remember running across any such a "playground" rule, or myth?

I like the call, but it was marginal.

Good post Bob.

It was a close game at the time ( 6 points early 3rd Q ). we were in front of Homes bench and they were trailing, and had the ball.

They lost by 20. While that has little to do with, how much contact there was, it did not make a difference in the game. The fouler ended the game with 3 fouls and was the leading scorer.

It was a BANG/BANG play. Also, only my 2nd Varsity contest of the young year.

I am pretty sure you were influenced by an NBE ruling related to 'force out' similar to what you describe. Way back in antideluvian times it may also have filtered down to the HS level. MTD, where are you?

NBA Rules History

1974-75 The “force out” rule is clarified as incidental contact near a boundary line, which causes a player to commit a violation or go out of bounds, and neither team is responsible for the action. The offensive team retains possession.

1976-77 The “force out” rule is eliminated.

Thanks justacoach. Sometimes I'm not sure if I'm remembering something, or if I'm remembering dreaming about something. Now, where are my car keys?

I love it. Reaching back to the Ancient Days with a rules reference.
