Designated Spot (Video)

[Kansas Ref]

whenever I'm the throw in designated spot ref, I'll tell the player "you can take one big step to the side or backwards, but not run endline". Ostensibly, the query player thought that endline running was allowed? Looked like he took several steps which was too much.
I like the mechanice the ref displayed.

Really?

Also, way too many words.

The only consternation you created is with your more learned fellow officials who take issue with the second part of this statement..."you can take one big step to the side or backwards,"
Does the term 'infinite depth' in relation to spot throw-ins strike a familiar note?

The corollary is ****ALWAYS listen to Bob****!!!!

I either say, "Can't move" or "Stay/Hold in your spot." Then you "move" on.

"Here's your spot."
or
"You can run."

I would not have to tell them they can "run" on a designated spot throw-in.

Ditto.

I might have let the inbounder get to the end of the "C" on the floor. Once he got past the "C", then violation was easy to call.

Nice video JRutledge. Thanks for sharing.

IAABO mechanics have us state, and signal, "designated" spot, or, "you can run", on all backcourt endline throwins.

How about NFHS mechanics?

Who cares, mechanics are guides for the most part anyway. I do not know of anyone that says a specific thing or does not say a specific thing in this or any number of situations.

There is a mechanic for a designated spot throw-in (just point at the spot), but I don't see one for being able to run the line. I know we kind of raise our arm so the elbow is at shoulder height, then waive or hand side to side along the end-line.

When it comes to communicating, I rarely reference the manual. Common sense often guides me.

You can take 20 steps backwards.
