Throw in Violation and location

[HokiePaul]

This makes me think of a slightly different (and probably more likely) scenario where there would be a question about where the throw in should be from.

1) Endline throw in by A1 travels to mid-court and is first touched by A2 who is standing out of bounds (standing with a foot touching the sideline).

Two rules seem to conflict:

9-2-11: No teammate of the thrower shall be out of bounds after the designated-spot throw in begins -- this appears to have been violated as A2 was out of bounds after the throw in began, and would suggest that B's throw in is on the endline at the original throw-in spot.

4-42-5: The throw-in ends when: b. The passed ball touches or is touched by another player out of bounds -- this appears to suggest that the throw in ends with the touch and the throw in for B would be at the sideline spot by the out of bounds violation. But if A was out of bounds for the touch, then they must have been out of bounds after the throw in began (and before it ended), which violates 9-2-11.

So... would you consider this a throw-in violation like the OP and bring the ball back to the original spot for B's throw-in, or is this different?

Example of OP -- Officials didn't notice

It's not worded very well, but the throw-in is legal, followed immediately by an OOB violation.

I think there's a specific case on that as well.

I guess you'd have to determine which happened first.

Did A2 touch the ball and then step out of bounds, which would result in a throw-in for Team B on the endline.

Or did A2 step out of bounds and then touch the ball, giving Team B a throw-in on the endline.

Reminds me of the "tie goes to the runner" call in baseball. There's no such thing... one happened before the other, and it's your responsibility to figure out which.

...

You have the same answer for both.

Oops. It should read like this...

Your OP is incorrect. It doesn't matter which happened first.

9-2-2 "... touched by another player (inbounds or out of bounds)... before going out of bounds untouched"

9-2-11 (the proscription on being OOB during a throw in) applies only when two are OOB trying to take the throw-in, or the pass to the second is not a throw-in pass, but a "run the endline" pass.

Okay, so let me see if I got this straight...

The fact that A2 touches out of bounds before touching the ball is not a throw-in violation. All we have in this case is an OOB call, giving Team B a throw-in on the sideline where A2 was out of bounds.

Correct.

Many years ago, if the throwin was first touched by B2, who is standing out of bounds, it would be considered a throwin violation by Team A, and Team B would get the ball back at the original spot of the throwin.

I am not sure if that was the way it was or that was the way some were interpreting it to be.

The way I remember it, it must have been quietly changed because the rule said as much, then they quietly changed it back to where it is now.

That was the way it was. Back then, the situation was treated the same as if the throwin ball hit an out of bounds wall (untouched by anybody inbounds). It was a casebook play interpretation. There was no distinction between a player out of bounds, and an object out of bounds, for this specific situation.

If the "roll" started in the OOB area, that violates 9-2-2: "The ball shall be passed by the thrower directly into the court..."

Cf. PENALTY: (Section 2) The ball becomes dead when the violation...occurs. Following a violation, the ball is awarded to the opponents for a throw-in at the original throw-in spot."

BillyMac:

Yes I do. Fortunately it was a short lived rule.
