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 deflects the ball out of bounds in the front court near the division line. On the ensuing throw-in, A-1 throws the ball across the court and the ball goes out of bounds without touching anyone.
Handle the situation.
This is a throw-in violation not an out-of-bounds violation. As such the designated “magic” spot rule comes into effect. All throw-in violations “occur” at the original throw-in spot. In this case, since the original throw-in spot was not a designated “magic” spot, the next throw-in will be from the nearest “magic” spot at the 28 foot mark on the side of the court where the original throw-in was taken from.
