With 54 seconds on the game clock in the fourth quarter, team A is entitled to a throw-in. Before handing the ball to thrower-in A1, the referee shows to B1 the warning with an ‘illegal boundary line crossing’ signal. B1 then moves the body towards A1 over the boundary line before the ball was thrown-in over the boundary line.
B1 shall be charged with a technical foul.
With 51 seconds on the game clock in the fourth quarter, team A is entitled to a throw-in. Before handing the ball to thrower-in A1, the referee does not show the warning ‘illegal boundary line crossing’ signal. B1 then moves the body towards A1 over the boundary line before the ball was thrown-in over the boundary line.
As the referee did not show the warning ‘illegal boundary line crossing’ signal before handing the ball to A1, the referee shall blow the whistle and B1 shall now be given a warning. This warning shall also be communicated to the team B head coach. The warning shall apply to all team B players for the remainder of the game. Any repetition of similar action by any team B player may result in a technical foul. The throw-in shall be repeated, and the referee shall show the ‘illegal boundary line crossing’ signal.
Thrower-in A1 hands the ball to A2 on the court.
This is a throw-in violation by A1. The ball must leave A1’s hands on the throw- in. Team B shall be awarded a throw-in from the place of the original throw-in.
After an infraction, thrower-in A1 receives the ball from the referee and A1
(a) places the ball on the floor after which the ball is taken by A2.

(b) hands the ball to B2, who is also behind the endline.
