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 A is awarded the ball out of bounds for a designated spot throw-in.  Thrower A-1 dribbles the ball twice before making the throw-in.  The dribbled ball never touches inbounds.

Handle the situation.


This is legal play.  As along as A-1 does not leave the designated throw-in spot, dribbling a ball that does not touch inbounds is legal.  Of course, A-1 must release the ball on the throw-in before five seconds have elapsed.
