Plays of the Week #8

1. Thrower-in A–1 passes to A–2. A–2 immediately passes to A–1, who

has one foot inbounds and the other foot is in the air over the boundary

legally enters the playing court, A–5 becomes bench personnel. Is this

against B–2. Team B is in the bonus. Official awards B–2 a one and one.

5. As the official bounces the ball to A–1 for a throw-in and prior to A–1
