Rules & Regulations

Establishes four throw-in spots (the nearest 28-feet mark along each sideline or the nearest spot 3-feet outside the lane line on the end line) when the ball is in team control in the offensive team's frontcourt and the defensive team commits a violation, a common foul prior to the bonus, or the ball becomes dead. 

Rationale: Simplifies throw-in procedure when there is team control in the front court and the defense team commits a violation.

Allows the official administering a throw-in to the wrong team to correct the mistake before the first dead ball after the ball becomes live unless there is a change of possession.

Rational: Allows for a correction of an official's mistake in a more reasonable timeframe.

Establishes that a player may step out of bounds without penalty unless they are the first player to touch the ball after returning to the court or if they left the court to avoid a violation.

Rationale: Allows a player to step out of bounds if they gain no advantage by leaving the court and returning to avoid a violation or to be the first to touch the ball.
