Where to spot the ball

[timbarnes]

Team A drives to the basket and team B steals the ball takes one dribble and throws the ball out of bounds. The ball crosses over out of bounds at team B goal should the ball be placed at the baseline or where the player last released the ball. The player was in backcourt when he released the ball if that maters.

Ask yourself: When does the violation occur? Where is the ball located when the violation occurs?

Answer these questions, and you will have your answer.

Violation occurs when ball goes out of bounds. Inbounds takes place there.

[jTheUmp]

Correct.

Minor quibble.....
Ball is put in play at the spot where the ball first touches OOB

Where it touches out of bounds is where it goes out of bounds. The throw-in spot is the spot nearest to this.

We both know that but the OP seemed to be improperly fixated on where the ball crossed the boundary.

What if it hits the ceiling?

I only asked the dumb question as the game I watched the ball got placed at half court with 10 seconds in the game with team A leading by one as that is where the player last touched the ball. Team A coach was upset as half the people in the stands.
