No Exceptions To The Rule ???

I know that it's a violation, but I would still have trouble calling it based on intent, and purpose.

The ball is not required to stay within the spot, only the player. In fact, if the thrower wants to "dribble", the "dribble" is not required to stay within the DS either.

Yes, the casebook play is pretty clear.

Nor would I, but it is a violation according to the caseplay. What's everybody else doing on this play: ignore, or violation?

I don't think that I would, but the casebook is pretty clear that it's a violation.

An inbounder can "dribble" the ball, he can make a bounce pass, on a run the endline throwin, to another player out of bounds, but he can't throw a bounce pass, that bounces out of bounds, right in front of him, within his designated spot, to a teammate in bounds?

Yes, the casebook play is quite clear. I guess we have to officiate with the rules that we have, not with the rules that we would like to see.

Billy, the THROW-IN PASS cannot touch anything which is OOB prior to contacting a player on the court. If it does that is a throw-in violation.
Any action which is NOT a throw-in pass does not have to adhere to that restriction. That is why a player may bounce the ball on the OOB area of the floor PRIOR to making a throw-in pass. The thrower could also bounce the ball of the back wall or the stanchion as long as that action is PRIOR to making the throw-in pass and not part of it.

"Intent" just seems superfluous, reading a term into a rule that isn't there. Some rules talk about intent, others don't, so why import it?
I don't see this, but I agree it's not a throw in pass, so it's not restricted the same way.

Now, if a player suddenly thinks he's Meadowlark Lemon and wants to throw it off of the wall to a teammate in bounds, that's a violation.

Thanks for the great explanation guys, and for taking the time to post it.

I love the Meadowlark Lemon play. It should be in the casebook. And none of this A1, A2 crap, just have Meadowlark pass it to Curly Neal in the caseplay.

Those people should brush up on rules knowledge and comprehension. It's only difficult for those people who ignore words such as "deems", "provided", "if", "judges", and "judgment" or who recite rules by adding words that aren't there.

Glad you finally agree with me.
