Throw-in Awarded to Wrong Team (7-6-6 New) Clarified that when the ball is awarded to the wrong team on a throw-in...the mistake must be rectified before the throw-in ends. This has been the interpretation and stated clearly in the NFHS Basketball Case Book for years – now just stated in the Rules Book. This has been a long-standing interpretation and has been stated in the NFHS Basketball Case Book for many years. To alleviate confusion, the committee felt it should be stated in the NFHS Basketball Rules Book as well.

2010 Clarifications for Throw-ins

2010 Clarification Ball at Player’s Disposal (4-4-7d) Clarified that the ball is at the disposal of a player when: It is available to him/her after a goal. AND The official begins the throw-in count. This editorial change just clarifies when the ball is at the disposal of a player after a made basket to differentiate between live- and dead-ball situations for the purposes of administering penalties and granting time-outs. So to be considered at a player’s disposal, the ball must be available to a player after a goal, and the official shall have begun the throw-in count

Ball is at the disposal of thrower Start the Five Second Count

Throw-In Violations

Throw-In Violations Thrower shall not leave the designated spot until release of the pass Ball shall be passed directly into the court from out of bounds so it touches by another player (inbounds or out of bounds) on the court before going out of bounds untouched

Rules Myths It is a MYTH that: A thrower can travel on a throw in A thrower cannot step on the line It is a Backcourt violation to throw ball into back court on a throw-in

Throwing to the Back court Bench Table Bench A T A L

Throw in mishandled Backcourt Frontcourt

Team Control Factor

Team Control Team Control does not exist during a dead ball, throw- in or a jump ball or when the ball is in flight during a try or tap for goal You cannot have a backcourt violation on a throw in until player control has been established. When player control is established, team control exists

Clock Starts When the ball is legally touched inbounds Kicked or punched ball is not a legal touch Clock should not start

Timeouts Communication

Timeout Communication Always before a timeout is reported to the table, communicate where the ball will be placed after the timeout Communicate Throw-in spot Team that will get the ball Throw in situation that applies (Designated spot or Run the end line)
