VIOLATIONS AND PENALTIES fees

 

awarded to an opponent of the free thrower out of bounds on the
end near the basket for which he was throwing.

SECTION 10. Make a second dribble after having completed a
dribble, unless the ball when it was out of his

possession has touched another player, or his own basket or back-

board, or has been batted out of his control by an opponent.

NOTE—If the offending player has the ball he shall pass it imme-
diately to the nearer Official.

SECTION 11. When the ball is tossed between two players at

center or elsewhere, tap the ball before it reaches
its highest point, catch the ball, or after tapping it a second time
touch it again until it has touched the floor, one of the other eight
players, the basket, or the backboard.

NOTE—If an Official makes a defective toss, he should toss the ball
again. If the players attempt to tap the ball but miss it, the ball may be
tossed up again even though it is caught by one of the players as it falls.
*SECTION 12. Remain for more than three seconds, in any part
Three of his free throw area while he is in control of the
Seconds ball; nor remain more than three seconds in that
part of his free throw area between the free throw line and the
end line while the ball is in control of other members of his team.

NOTE—The ball is in control of a team when it is being passed from
player to player of that team. Allowance may be made for a player who,
having been in his lane for less than three seconds, dribbles in to throw
for goal. The 6-foot arc is part of the free throw lane, and a player
touching any part of the line denoting the lane is in the lane. The three
seconds restriction does not apply while the ball is in the air on a try for
goal, or while it is rebounding from the backboard, because the ball is not
in possession of either team at such times.

The ball shall go to an opponent out of bounds at the point nearest
the spot where the violation was committed.

fe made or not. (Jump ball between centers at nearer free throw
ine.

NOTE—Under (b) an offensive player shall not be deemed to have
interfered with the ball on a try for goal from the field unless he touches
the basket.
