A1 has the ball for a throw-in. A1 reaches across the plane of the boundary with the ball
and B1 taps the ball out of A1’s hands. Is B1’s action legal?
No Article 17, Interpretations, Statement 1
B1 has interfered with the throw-in, thereby delaying the resumption of the game. Until
the ball has left the inbounder’s hand a defensive player cannot touch the ball. A
warning shall be given to B1 and communicated to coach B and this warning shall apply
to all team B players for the remainder of the game. The repetition of a similar action by
any team B player may result in a technical foul
