The Richmond Spiders (vs. St. Bonaventure) were inbounding the ball from under the basket when the ball was passed to another player who was also behind the inbound passing line then he passed it inbound. Huh? Apparently not illegal I just never saw that b4. Great trick. It was right b4 halftime if you can find it and comment on it. Did I just see that happen?

provided in Rule 7-4.6.b.
(The exception for Rule 7-4.6.b about the pass going directly into the playing court refers to a seldom-made pass after a successful basket or goaltending violation, where the inbounding team may pass the ball between players who are out of bounds at the end line under the basket.

OK. The advantage is you mess with the defense and can maybe get the original in bounder open with a quick step lob pass or he steps back for a short pass. U just confused the D to get someone open? The disadvantage is you now have about 1 second to find someone open? I guess that is y it is rare to see?Comment
