Throw In

[Triad zebra]

After a made basket A1 runs the base line and when he is behind the backboard he attempts a thrown in that hits the back of the backboard and comes directly back to him. This ball has never touched inbounds. Do you have anything?

I agree that I'm going to probably make the same call, but what rule has been violated?

Actually an out of bounds violation. I guess technically you could say a throw-in violations as well, considering that you did not complete the throw-in properly.

I can bounce the ball out of bounds and I can turn around and bounce the ball off the back wall. Why can't I bounce the ball off the back of the backboard as long as I complete my legal throw in within 5 seconds

Because the thrower released the ball toward the court as he's required to do within 5 seconds...once that happens, the thrower can't be the first to touch the ball. He also needs to release the ball and cause it to touch another player.

No you can't.

2013-14 Case Book 9.2.2 Situation A

Thrower A1: (a) causes the ball to carom from the wall behind him/her, or from the floor out of bounds and then into the court; (b) caroms the ball from the back of the backboard to a player in the court; or (c) throws the ball against the side or the front face of the backboard, after which it rebounds into the hands of A2. RULING: Violation in (a) and (b), since the throw touched an object out of bounds. The throw-in in (c) is legal. The side and front face of the backboard are inbounds and, in this specific situation, are treated the same as the floor inbounds.
