Dear Sir:

Will you please give me your intervretation of
Rule Number 4, Section 3, page 5 in Spalding's
Official Besketball Guide which reads as follows:

"A substitute before going uvon the court shall
report to the Scorers, giving his name, number
and pdsition. The Scorers shall sound a horn
immediately if the ball is dead or as soon as
it becomes dead, excest that a substitution
may not be meade in the interval following a
field goal and putting the ball in play from out
of bounds unless a cherged time-out has been
OO P08 6 ea as ve

There is some question among the coaches and
officials of this locality as to whether the "out
of bounds" mentioned in the bbove rule refers to
out of bounds at anytime during the game, or only
after a field goal is made.

Specifically, is it legal to meke a substitution
on an out of bounds ball other then the out of bounds
after a field goal?

I would aopreciate your attention.
Yours Blew s

"elo
