derwil wroteIn Alabama, we hand the ball to the inbounder unless the ball is in front court, on the side line below the free throw line extended. Then, and only then, are we allowed to bounce. Some times with defensive pressure you must hand it off then book it 2-3 steps to get some separation for the play.
Even on the backcourt endline, with a "run the endline" throwin, i.e., after a score and a timeout, with no defensive pressure?
