Thrower-in delay

I'm guessing the reason the violation by a teammate of the shooter kills the shot is because if the shot goes in there would be no way to penalize the violation.

I'm looking for a parallel here. The only other "offensive" violations I can think of during a try for goal would be basket interference and goaltending. Both of those would kill a shot, so you'd have to same the same for all violations.

Leaving the court for an unauthorized reason.🙂

Yep, that could kill a shot, too. So, why would elbow swinging be any different?

Who said it should be any different?

I was referring to Rob's suggestion of inconsistencies.

A foul by the shooter's teammate on the other hand comes with the penalty of one personal foul charged to the offender and possibly free throws for the offended team.

That's the best reasoning I've heard for these rulings. And yet, I still have never seen either called - the going OOB during a teammate's shot, or swinging elbows, by a teammate. Of course, neither happens very often, which contributes to the rarity of such calls.

With a shot in progress, what possible benefit could a teammate of the shooter be seeking to go OOB on purpose? I'd assert that they are only taking themselves out of any possible useful position when a shot in in the air.

Going around a defender trying to get inside position for a possible rebound.

I'm just envisioning that it will take too long to make it to a viable position if they have to go that far behind the backboard to go around a defender and get back in front of the board for a decent rebounding position.

Just said that was the idea, not that it was a good idea.
