Where to take the ball out.

BryanV21

What about going with the majority of the player's body?

I mean, if most of his/her body is outside the arc, then the ball is inbounded on the sideline. And if most of his/her body is inside the arc, then the ball is inbounded on the endline.

Ball location is defined specifically in the book, otherwise I'd agree with this.

I see it now... yeah. The ball would be defined as being inside the arc (as the player in control of the ball is partly inside the arc), therefore the ball would be inbounded on the endline.

How is ball location defined in the rules (note, it has little to do with it's actual physical location.)

Oops. Thanks.

Player is holding the ball with his left foot in front of his right. His left foot is in the top of the key circle. His right foot is not. The ball is being held very closely to the circle but not actually over it. The coach requests time out. Is the ball put in play on the sideline due to the ball not being in the circle or is it put in play on the end line because the foot in the circle causes the ball to have "in the circle status"?

That was an excellent question Jeremy. I am going to vote with the others and say ball location. Touching the circle puts the ball in the key. TI on end line. Never thought about it that closely before. Thanks.

I had the question just by luck as I had it happen last night at the end of the 3rd overtime. Defensive Coach was not happy with our spot.

So did you get it right?

Did the coach know where the spot was before going into the huddle for the TO?

If you have to pick nits, it goes on the end line. Easy enough.

Exactly. If it's close, put it on the endline. Coaches have tons of plays designed for endline throw-ins. Do it both ways and coaches won't complain.

Strange phrasing. Seems that if the crew does it both ways the coaches would be confused and complain.
Do you mean to do it one way and be consistent on both ends of the court throughout the game?

Duh.

Do "it" (put the ball on the endline if it's close) "both ways" (be consistent) and coaches won't complain.

Much the same as a 3 second lane violation......one foot in the lane = player location. Coach should always ask for inbounding spot if he does'nt he ar or see us point.

Nevadaref

Amusing, to me "do it both ways" seemed to indicate putting the throw-in on the sideline sometimes and the endline sometimes, which is why I commented, "strange phrasing."

The whole point of where is the ball (in or outside of the arc)and where to administer,is if the ball is awarded baseline instead of sideline then possibly the offense has just had major advancement down the floor for free because of us.

If it's that close you can't decide, put it on the end line. How is that "major advancement because of us?"

Yes, Partner granted timeout from the T. He told me it was underneath.

Yes I took the ball to the OOB spot. This is when the Coach objected.

One would think so. However on the next play the other team requested a timeout with the ball on the wing very close to the diagonal line. My partner, who was once again the T due to a foul that possession, ruled the ball to be underneath. Coach, who was now on offense, complained it should have been on the side.

Some people will argue anything.

It wasn't that clear to me, but in hind sight....

That said, yes they will.
