Running the baseline to inbound

njdevs00cup

Team A scores a basket. Team B calls an immediate timeout, prior to the ball being inbounded. Ref hands team B player the ball after the time out. Can he run the baseline or does he have to inbound the ball from where the ref hands him the ball?

Thank you!

He can still run the baseline.

Is there any situation when the player needs to remain stationary when inbounding from the baseline?

(Thank you for your help! I'm a baseball umpire who is trying to get this info for a youth coach and I know nothing about b-ball)

He can only run the baseline after a made basket or foul shot.

All other situations (non-shooting fouls, ball goes out of bounds, violations, etc.) if the correct position is a "spot" inbound on the baseline, he has limited movement (3 feet either way of the spot) - but can not "run the baseline."

Thank you for taking the time to clarify this. I will pass this information along!

Technically (no pun intended), it's after "a made or awarded score". An example of an awarded score would be a goaltending call.

Or if the defense commits a foul or violation during an endline throwin and the ensuing throwin is also on the endline.

No, a thrower never has to be stationary. Traveling rules do not apply to throw-ins. Even if they can't run the end line side-to-side, they don't have to stand still.

Just wanted to clarify that point.

Not necessarily true. The designated spot is three feet wide. The thrower has to keep one foot on or over the designated spot. He/she could violate and still be within "3 feet either way of the spot".

Just wanted to clarify that too. I know that you knew it.

A time-out does not alter the privilege of running the end line as evidenced by the following case book play.

7.5.7 SITUATION C: Team B has scored a field goal and A1 has the ball along the end line for a throw-in. Team A is not in the bonus. Prior to the ball being thrown inbounds by A1: (a) B1 fouls A2 inbounds near A1; (b) B1 fouls A2 at the division line; (c) B1 fouls A2 beyond the division line; or (d) A2 requests a time-out. RULING: In (a) and (d), Team A may throw-in from anywhere out of bounds along the end line following the foul reporting and the time-out. In (b) and (c), the ball will be given to Team A for a throw-in from the spot out of bounds nearest to where the foul occurred.

And, while either stationary for a "spot" throw-in or while running the baseline, the thrower may legally bounce the ball while OOB, all other things being legal.

A player inbounding the ball may step on, but not over the line. During a designated spot throwin, the player inbounding the ball must keep one foot on or over the three-foot wide designated spot. An inbounding player is allowed to jump or move one or both feet. A player inbounding the ball may move backward as far as the five-second time limit or space allows. If player moves outside the three-foot wide designated spot it is a violation, not travelling. In gymnasiums with limited space outside the sidelines and endlines, a defensive player may be asked to step back no more than three feet. A player inbounding the ball may bounce the ball on the out-of-bounds area prior to making a throwin.
