




Starts when the ball is placed at a team’s
disposal
The ball must be released directly into the
court within 5 seconds. The throw-in
count then ends on the release.
The ball must touch another player
inbounds prior to going out of bounds
untouched
A teammate cannot touch the ball while it
is outside boundary line (exception??? –
made basket)
The thrower may not leave the
designated spot prior to the release
Opponents of the throw-in team may not
break the throw in boundary plane
Teammates may not occupy adjacent
positions within 3 feet and parallel to the
boundary, if an opponent Wants that
position
Throw in Ends Rule
Change 4.24.5

The throw in ends when the
throw in pass is LEGALLY
touched by another player.
eg: With the previous rule if the
ball was kicked by the defense
it could cause the throw in time
to be disadvantaged from an
alternating possession stand
point and running the endline.
By adding legally to the rule
that defines when the throw in
ends, eliminates this situation
from happening.
