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

A-5 scores.  B-5 recovers the ball and heads toward out of bounds to throw the ball in.  However, B-5 never steps out of bounds and passes the ball to B-1 who starts up the court.

Handle the situation.


This is a throw-in violation.  B-5 must throw the ball in from out of bounds.  Once Team B acts as if this has been done, Team B has violated.  Team A will be awarded the ball out of bounds on the endline at the closest “magic spot” for a designated spot throw-in.
