Interesting in bounds play...

[VeloClone]

I don't think I've seen that play before, I don't think the UCLA guy even touched him, but that was a fast 5 second call.

I was at the game behind the UCLA basket so I had a good view of the play and saw the contact. There definitely was contact, but clearly not as much as I remember (Cyclone goggles). In the game replay it is from the side of the court so you can't really tell.

I had to throw my Cyclone goggles away. I wore them from 2006-2010 and they didn't make the girl any cuter. I just assumed they were broken.

As far as the baseline screen play, that is a really really old trick. We were told to look out for it back when I played in 6th and 7th grade. (I'm regretting saying really really old now). The inbounds passer really has to sell that he is trying to use the screen to open up a passing lane otherwise the ref usually swallows the whistle.

I'm not a huge fan of any play that tries to draw a foul instead of making an offensive play (not including an and-1 in this). It's legal, it's part of the game, but that doesn't make it less cheap. Marcus Smart, I'm looking at you.

I generally agree but when you are 90 feet away and you have less than 2 seconds left your realistic not cheap options begin to get fewer and farther between.

I can't believe the ref called that a foul.

Granted it was a foul, but with .6 seconds left you think you would let that go.

If it's a foul it is a foul no matter how much time is on the clock. Refs swallowing the whistle is just as bad as them making needless ticky tacky calls. A no call decides the outcome of a game just as much as a bad call.

That being said, I'm not sure he was set.

Don't see this has been posted, but Oakland ran a great play with 6 tenths of a second left to get to the foul line...never seen this before. Brilliant...

Y! SPORTS

I saw this. This was absolutely genius. That coach deserved a standing ovation for coming up with this.

I wouldn't go that far. Read the rest of the thread.

I've always wanted to see the inbounder hold the ball out and see if the defender slaps at it...I believe it's a technical if the defender touches the ball while it's in the inbounders hands.

Maybe Blum can confirm that...

You would be correct

 

[VeloClone]

You would be correct

Sometimes teams have tried to get the call by passing the ball from one player out of bounds to another out of bounds as close as they can get to the guy guarding the ball. Technically a touch should be a technical as well if you are passing it out of bounds rather than inbounding it.

I always got ****** that Iowa back in the Tom Davis days never got a technical and rarely even got a warning for attacking the inbounder when he was trying to get the ball in. They constantly put a big galoot on the ball and very rarely honored the line - constantly jumping across it. It is really difficult to inbound when the guy is in your lap.

What if the inbounder fakes a pass out to one side and sweeps the ball across in front of himself at waist level... just far enough out that the ball hits the defender on the hip and gets knocked out of his hands. Is that a T on the defender, or does he actually need to go for the ball?

If that was the case, if a guy is right on the endline jumping up and down right in front of me, i'd just do that. Knock the ball out of my own hands using the defender.

He needs to reach for the ball and it needs to be out of bounds (he must reach across the boundary plane).

"Reaching through the throw-in boundary-line plane and touching or

dislodging the ball while it is in possession of the thrower or being passed​

to a teammate outside the boundary line as in Rule 7-4.6.b."

As if Marcus Smart needed any more ideas...

You are correct. If the ball is thru the plane of the out of bounds line. The defender can grab the ball. It happens in high school games every now and then. Expecially on courts with not much room between end lines and the wall. That said the defender cannot extend any arms thru that out of bounds line as well. Delay of game warning for first offense and technical for the second. I have called this numerous times. As again with not much room on endline and the wall. It really favors the defender as he can't throw it to opposite corner.

YES! Iowa under Dr. Tom always violated on the inbounds and it was never called. I dreamed of becoming an official one day just so I could call it on them!

If you've had to whistle a T for that you aren't officiating correctly.

Funny story from my 7th grade year. We are on defense under opponent's basket, they are inbounding. Player A gets the ball from the ref, Player B from same team shouts "I'm supposed to take it out" and moves towards Player A. We all relax and look around, Player A passes the ball to an uncontested Player B who lays it in. Not one of our prouder moments and it obviously wouldn't work in upper level games. But I can laugh about it now.

This is bush league, and should not be called

Fresh/soph ball, if we had the ball after the half, we'd get out on the floor wife the other team and line up under the same basket we shot at first half.....many times the other team would line up to defend us. We'd in bound at half court and walk it in for a lay up (or try a wide open dunk) at the opposite end.

I think our downfall was coach having us tell the ref what we were going to do. In hindsight, maybe we should have let it be a surprise to our striped friend and see if we could have gotten a reaction call.

Wow, no kidding? I was at that game and it def. looked like a foul - wished they would have called it.
