Baseline Throw in Question

[tophat67]

After B's made basketball, A grabs the ball and stands on the baseline with both feet across the line. (He never fully takes the ball out of bounds). Do I have an inbound violation immediately when he throws the ball in play and team A goes down the court, or do I continue my 5 count and call a 5 second violation?

Where are his feet?

This.

His feet are across the line (Technically, toes across the line, heels behind the line)

If they make a throwin from the wrong spot (not entirely OOB), it is an illegal throwin.

What is this "baseline" you speak of?

Are there "bases" on a basketball court?

I know there is an "endline" on a basketball court.

Agreed. Specific case or interpretation on this.

I'm still not clear what this means. Are his feet out of bounds, or inbounds, or both ("across" can mean different things)?
