In my few years of ref and 60 yrs of watching bb, I have never seen a player dribble the ball who was going to throw the ball in-bounds.

A dropped ball caught is a one bounce dribble. Seen many times.

[Chaz]

could it possibly be none of the above? E

The Correct Answer to Basketball Question # 6 is,

E for all levels.

RULE 7; Out of Bounds and the Throw-in.

Section 6. Throw-in — Requirements
Art. 8. The following pertain to a designated spot:
c. The thrower-in must keep one foot on or over the designated spot until the
ball is released. Pivot foot restrictions and the traveling rule are not in
effect for a throw-in.

RULE 9; Violations and Penalties.

Section 5. Throw-in
Art. 1. It is a throw-in violation when a thrower-in:
a. Leaves a designated spot before releasing the ball and that ball crosses the
plane of the boundary.
b. Fails to pass the ball directly into the playing court so that after it crosses
the boundary line, it touches an inbounds player or is touched by a player,
who is on the playing court, and causes the ball to be out of bounds.
c. Executes a throw-in that lodges between the backboard and the ring or
comes to rest on the flange.
d. Consumes more than five seconds from the time the throw-in starts until
the ball is released.
e. Carries or hands the ball to a teammate who is on the playing court.
f. Touches the playing court before the throw-in is released or touches the
ball in the playing court before it has touched another player.
g. Throws the ball so that it enters the basket before touching anyone, strikes
the back of the backboard or its supports, passes over the backboard, or
bounces into the playing court from a balcony or from the floor out of
bounds.

I don't think I have ever seen a player dibble during a throw in. I just assumed it was illegal to do that.

It's unusual because of the time factor of releasing the ball, but it does happen. Learning, that's what this Forum is all about.

Late to the party but I rember UofL fans being upset that Sparks "traveled" on a designated throw in. But, there is no such thing as long and he stays in the designated area. I've seen many guys drop the ball during a non-designated throw in but never on a designated. Either way it is a dribble but as long as the designated guy doesn't leave his spot I could see no difference than with the non-designated spot guy.

So what happens if the designated spot guy drops the ball moves to get it then moves back? I would think that would be a violation.

In the Sparks play, he received the inbound's pass.

If the ball doesn't go far, the officials will allow this. The main reason the thrower-in doesn't bounce the ball before releasing the ball, is because he doesn't want to risk dribbling the ball on the out-of-bounds line.

But your C doesn't say that when the player lifted his foot that he kept it over the designated spot. He might have flung it in any direction away from the spot before returning it to the designated spot.
