Out of bounds and first to touch ball inbounds

7.1.1 SITUATION B: A1 blocks a pass near the end line. The ball falls to the
floor inbounds, but A1, who is off balance, steps off the court. A1 returns
inbounds, secures control of the ball and dribbles. RULING: Legal. A1 did not
leave the court voluntarily and did not have control of the ball when he/she did.
This situation is similar to one in which A1 makes a try from under the basket and
momentum carries A1 off the court. If the try is unsuccessful, A1 may come back
onto the court and regain control since A1 did not leave the court voluntarily and
did not have control of the ball when he/she did.
7.1.1 SITUATION C: A1 blocks a pass near the sideline and the ball goes into
A1’s front court. A1’s momentum carries him/her out of bounds. He/she immediately
returns inbounds, secures control of the ball, dribbles, shoots, and scores.
RULING: Legal. (4-35-1a; 7-1-2; 9-3)
7.1.1 SITUATION D: A1 jumps from inbounds to retrieve an errant pass near a
boundary line. A1 catches the ball while in the air and tosses it back to the court.
A1 lands out of bounds and (a) is the first to touch the ball after returning
inbounds; (b) returns inbounds and immediately dribbles the ball; or (c) picks up
the ball after returning to the court and then begins a dribble. RULING: Legal in
(a) and (b). Illegal in (c) as the controlled toss of the ball to the court by A1 constitutes
the start of a dribble, dribbling a second time after picking up the ball is
an illegal dribble violation. (4-15-5; 4-15-6d; 4-35; 9-5)

what about situation where:
A1 dribbles near the side of the court, loses the ball going out of bounds, jumps from inbound to save the ball (a: hand doesn't go below the center of the ball to be treated as carry; b:carry/hold/grabs the ball) & tosses it back inbound , gets inbound & touches the ball?

under (a) it would be legal and A1 allowed to continue the dribble, or hold the ball.

under (b) it would be illegal as it would contribute to self pass/double dribble since A1 ended his dribble when he carry/hold/grabbed the ball while trying to save the ball.

Lose "self pass" from your lexicon as quickly as possible.

NBA stated:

"A player may not be the first to touch his own pass unless the ball touches his backboard, basket ring or another player"

so if the referee determines that the player was trying to pass, it can be treated as a violation on the above clause. whether or not the player actually started a dribble prior to ending the dribble while saving the ball is irrelevant as long as the throw is seen as a pass, and this situation is not uncommon when the supposingly receiver misses the pass & A1 goes to retrieve the ball and be the 1st person to touch it.

You're applying the NBA rule set...when the majority of discussions on this forum are plays involving NFHS or NCAA rules. If you wish to discuss situations under NBA rules, you need to state so explicitly in your post.

Do you officiate under NBA rules? Do you officiate at all?

Do you think the members of this forum are NBA officials?
