The play described below is provided for your review and discussion. The rulings given are based on NFHS rules. NCAA rulings may be different.
Team B is entitled to a throw in at Team A’s end line following a violation by Team A. Prior to the throw in, a timeout is granted to Team B. After the time out, as the official is handing the ball to B1, the four other players from Team B step out of bounds along the end line. Once B1 receives the ball from the official, the other four players from Team B re-enter the court and B1 throws a pass to B2, who is now inbounds.
Handle the situation.
By rule, this is a throw-in violation. While multiple players from the throwing team may be out of bounds during a throw-in after a score, only one player is allowed to be out of bounds during a designated spot throw-in. Once B1 received the ball, the throw-in had started. Any teammate who is out of bounds at this point creates a throw-in violation. The ball should be awarded to Team A at the spot of the original throw-in.
