Basketball Out of Bounds Rules

DAVE TYLER: In a basketball, you have five seconds to in-bound the basketball. There's a couple of different situations when in-bounding the ball and the offensive team would have different options. Number one is that, after a basket is scored, the team then would have the entire baseline to run to in-bound the ball. It doesn't have to be any stop. They got five seconds to get the ball into play. If however, after a violation, the official would hand the participant the ball and they then have five seconds to in-bound it. They may move their feet back, but not side to side. Back is fine but no side to side to in-bound the play. The proper mechanic is the official has one hand up and counts the five seconds with the right hand making sure that everyone could see that. After a violation of five, a whistle and a show of five seconds. You turn the ball over and then the other team will get it. On in-bounding a ball, another violation can occur--that can create a technical foul, if the defender reaches across and takes the ball away from the offensive player, that would be considered a technical foul and two shots and the ball. Usually an official will give a warning for that kind of a situation. We have an imaginary plane here between the offensive and defensive player. If the defensive player reaches in to this--across that imaginary line and has any contact with the player, this would be considered a technical foul. He would get a warning and then we would have a technical foul on the defender. Technical foul, two shots and the ball.
