Inbounding Traveling

[Solomon]

Can anybody give me a little help with the offical rule for inbounding the basketball. I know on a made shot that you have free run of the baseline, but what is the offical rule for dead ball inbounding? Can you move both feet within a certain area where handed the ball or is it still the same rule (able to move one foot, keep one stationary) that refs have just become slack on calling? And is the rule the same in high school and college?

 

Any help would be appreciated.

I know for sure that you cant move both feet after a dead ball when inbounding, it's just like a basic traveling call based on whether a shot was made or not

After made shot: run of the baseline.

 

Any dead ball (other than a stoppage after a bucket): pivot foot as is the case inbounds.

 

Not always enforced with consistency, especially if the inbounder doesn't move from his basic spot.

Yup. Couldn't have said it any better myself. That's exactly how I enforce it.

The rule book states that on a dead ball inbound play the inbounder has a three foot box they must stay in. I have lost a game because the man taking it out moved several feet in both directions and I was given T for making my point with a ref. This is the worst rule in basketball!!! I was taught as a young lad to keep my pivot foot on a dead ball inbound. Now the rule is a three foot box!!! This is like calling 3 seconds without a lane. I'll bet you most refs do not even know the correct call to make or the hand signal for this violation. What if I do jumping jacks with the ball on a dead ball inbound play? What if I move three feet and two inches to the left or right? The rules people needs to change this rule and go back to the old pivot foot rule.

You make it sound as if you are a ref and you don't know the rules!!! I can promise you I am not making this up about the three foot box. I have been told by a top notch ref that he knows about the three foot box rule but he still tells the kid who is inbounding to not move so he will not be forced to make a jugement call.

You are right. There is no such thing as a "pivot" on deadball out of bounds. You are right about the 3 ft. rule.

There is no pivot foot and there is no dribble on a throw-in. It's not illegal to move one or both feet, jump, etc., just as long as part of one of the thrower's feet is within the three-foot-wide space. And while players are limited on lateral movement during a throw-in, most of them don't realize that they can move backwards as far as they want if space allows.

 

And if the thrower violates by moving completely outside of his/her three-foot space, it is not traveling and officials should not give the signal for traveling. It is simply a violation, there is no specific signal for it. The accepted method for signaling a throw-in violation is to simply point at the spot, verbalize the violation and award the ball to the other team.

Thanks for clarifying. That change slipped by me. BTW, we still have a jump ball after each made basket, don't we?

well said!

 

also a player can dribble in the 3 foot Area. of course he can't dribble onto the court.

BigWes summed it up exactly right! !
