The play described below is provided for your review and discussion. The rulings given are based on NFHS rules. NCAA rulings may be different.

During a throw-in, A-1’s pass is deflected by B-1 up into the air.  The ball is caught by airborne A-1 who has jumped from out of bounds.

Handle the situation.


This is an out of bounds violation by A-1.  A-1’s location status is determined by where A-1 was last touching the floor.  Since A-1 jumped from out of bounds, A-1 is still considered to be out of bounds until A-1 touches inbounds.
