Throw-in

Player control absolutely exists on a throw-in. He/she is holding or dribbling a live ball, correct?

I agree:

2010-11 Basketball Rules Fundamentals, #2 says: "Neither a team nor any player is ever in control during a dead ball, jump ball, throw-in, or when the ball is in flight during a try or tap for goal."

2012-13 Basketball Rules Fundamnetals, #2 and subsequent publications, omit the word "throw-in."

Note: I've misplaced my 2011-12 edition, so I can't verify if the change was made before 2012-13. Sorry.

quit being a crybaby Nevada just because I disagreed with you on another thread. No reason to bring that here.

I didn't see the spectator part in the question, I thought it was a violation if a player is dribbling and it goes off his leg.

So a bounce pass from a throwin inbounds would be illegal. A bounce pass to another teammate out of bounds, (play when you can run the endline) would be ok?

Is the second one a throw-in pass? That should answer your question (the specific words have specific meanings here).

And, not all "bounce passes" on throw-in passes are illegal.
