How to stats-rule this situation: in high school boys' Basketball, Team A has ball, pressured by Team B. The shot clock runs down to 26 seconds, and team A calls timeout, still in the backcourt.



Following the timeout, the ball is inbounded still in the backcourt by Team A. They cross the half court line with 22 seconds remaining on the shot clock. Is this a 10 second violation ? Or does the 10 seconds count cease at the calling of the timeout ?

:Rule 9.9.1 says that a team must be in continuous possession of the ball in the backcourt for 10 seconds in order to constitute a violation.

If team A has not dribbled the ball (I believe they can throw passes just not dribble), when they call the timeout the ball is advanced into the front court ceasing the 10 second violation.

The timeout interrupted that continuous possession and a new 10 seconds count will begin when / if they initially pass the ball inbounds into their back court.

The rule says "continuous control". There is no control during the TO (or subsequent throw in).

To close and resume this topic: Right, the rule says "continuous control". There is no control during the TO (or subsequent throw-in). SO, TEAM A GETS A FULL 10 SECONDS COUNT AFTER THE THROW-IN TO ADVANCE THE BALL TO THE FRONT COURT. No violation and none for the stats-man.
All the terminology of this topic in in the Global Basketball Directory.

This post RESUMES & CLOSES the topic

About the Concept: 8 (or 10) Second Violation= Once a team gains control of the ball in the backcourt, it has either 8 or 10 seconds (as specified below) to proceed to the frontcourt (i.e. the ball gains frontcourt status).

About the NBA Rules: Section VIII-Ten-Second Rule
A team shall not be in continuous control of a ball which is in its backcourt for more than 8 consecutive seconds.
EXCEPTIONS:
(1) A new 8 seconds is awarded if the defense: (1) kicks or punches the ball, (2) is assessed a technical foul, or (3) is issued a delay of game warning.
(2) A new 8 seconds is awarded if play is suspended to administer (see Commentaries below ).
PENALTY: Loss of ball. The ball is awarded to the opponent at the midcourt line, with the ball having to be passed into the frontcourt.

About the FIBA Rules: Rule V - Art. 28
1. Whenever a player gains control of a live ball in his backcourt, his team must cause the ball to go into its frontcourt within eight (8) seconds.
2. The eight (8) seconds period will continue with any time remaining when the team that previously had control of the ball is awarded a throw-in in the backcourt, as a result of:
- a ball having gone out-of-bounds;
- a player of the same team having been injured;
- a jump ball situation;
- a double foul;
- a cancellation of equal penalties against both teams.

Commentaries: If a player suffers a laceration or a wound where bleeding occurs, the officials shall suspend the game at the earliest appropriate time and remove the injured player from the game.....
....ONLY the injured player may be removed from the game under these circumstances. No mandatory timeouts may be awarded if play is suspended for the defensive team. The offensive team will receive a full 8 or 10 seconds to advance the ball into the frontcourt. The 24-second clock will remain as is or reset to 8 or 10, whichever is greater.

About 8 / 10 Seconds Rule Differences at different Leagues:
8 (or 10) Second Violation
Once a team gains control of the ball in the backcourt, it has either 8 or 10 seconds (as specified below) to proceed to the frontcourt (i.e. the ball gains frontcourt status).
FIBA: 8 seconds. Count is not reset if ball is deflected out of bounds by defense or if possession is retained because of an alternating possession throw-in.
NBA: 8 seconds. Count is reset if the defense kicks or punches the ball, is assessed a technical foul, or is issued a delay of game warning; or if play is stopped due to a player bleeding. For purposes of this rule, the ball gains front court status on a pass when it crosses the plane of the centre line.
WNBA: 10 seconds; otherwise same as NBA.
NBDL: 7 seconds; otherwise same as NBA.
NCAA Men: 10 seconds. Count ends (without penalty) if the ball becomes dead (e.g., if the defensive team deflects the ball out of bounds).
NCAA Women: No time limit (other than the shot clock).

This summary resumes & closes this topic and will be completed at the "Rules" chapter of the eBA Basketball Statistics Analysis System. Another Basketball rules topics you'll find at the Basketball Rules Discussions section of our eBA Stats.com site.
