The play described below is provided for your review and discussion. The rulings given are based on NFHS rules. NCAA rulings may be different.
B-1 scores with five seconds left to pull Team B within two points of Team A. After a timeout, A-1 throws a long pass from the end line which is caught by A-3 while A-3 is touching the sideline in frontcourt.
Handle the situation.
This is an out-of-bounds violation not a throw-in violation. Since this is an out-of-bounds violation, the ensuing throw-in will be from the spot where A-3 was touching the sideline not on the end line where A-1 was.
(References: Rule 9-2-2, 7-2-2)
