If they have a similar rule to FIBA it is written below.
17.3 Rule
17.3.1 The player taking the throw-in shall not:
?? Take more than five (5) seconds to release the ball.
?? Step into the playing court while having the ball in his hand(s).
?? Cause the ball to touch out-of-bounds, after it has been released on the throwin.
?? Touch the ball on the playing court before it has touched another player.
?? Cause the ball to enter the basket directly.
?? Move from the designated throw-in place behind the boundary line, other than
from his team's endline after a successful field goal or a successful last free
throw, laterally in one (1) or in both directions, exceeding a total distance of one
(1) m before releasing the ball. He is, however, permitted to move directly backwards
from the boundary line as far as circumstances allow.
The inbound passer is not allowed to move more than 1m either side of the spot. I suspect he did thus was called for travel.


Dumb, simple as that

Only thing more stupid I have seen was when Chris Webber asked for a timeout in the championship game when they didn't have any left. This will haunt him for life!

I've seen other games where players took more steps along the baseline and got away with it.

Read the rule again, you can move all the way along the baseline and back after a basket.


Hence the word "SPOT" Paul. There is NO spot after a made basket.

A lot less than he did right.
I hope Gaels fans remember that.

Its a bugger of a rule as well, if you take a time-out after a made basket, and it goes back to the baseline for a throw in - you can't run the base line any more, you have to pass within 1 step of where the ref gave you the ball back.

New in town that is not correct. The status doesnt change. If the ball is advanced in the last 2 mins of the 4th or extra time then yes the ball must be taken from the spot opposite the coaches box. That's the only time it changes.

Why is there advertising links all over every bloody page now?

didn't there used to be a rule in the NBA where they could pass it "out of bounds to out of bounds?"
So the player inbounding after a made basket, if he couldn't hit an open player, that open player could step out of bounds, they could pass it to them and they could inbound it - I remember it was used in an All Star game in the 1990s...(maybe in Utah?)

I think Xavier just did exactly that in the last few seconds against Lehigh

You can do it in FIBA still as its no difference to running the baseline with the ball in your hand. But again it is only after a made basket.

Yes, but the call is not a "travel", and although the end result is the same, the correct violation should be called.

The stupid thing is, the ref told him to stay there and he freaking moved anyway.. Clint admitted as much, said the ref said so and he had a brain snap.
And he did another bone head mistake that lost them there last game of last season as well in the NIT(Gaels up with under 10 seconds to go, Gaels inbound to him, he fumbles it out of bounds and they score)
That being said, the Gaels don't win the WCC championship or the WCC tournament without him, they don't beat USF in the semi's in Vegas.. think the pressure just gets to him sometimes.
