Out of Bounds
Also known as: OOB, Last touch
The lines are out, and so is the last player who touched it.
The rule
The ball is out when it touches the floor, an object or a person on or outside the boundary lines. The lines themselves are out. The team that touched the ball last before it went out loses it. A player standing on the line with the ball is out too.
The penalty
The other team gets the ball for a throw-in from where it went out (a check-ball in 3x3).
Around the leagues
- Throw-in: NBA, WNBA, FIBA, NCAA M, NCAA W
- Throw-in: Wheelchair. The wheelchair counts as part of the player: a wheel on the line is out.
- Check-ball: 3x3. Play restarts at the top of the arc: a defender hands the ball to an attacker, who must be behind the arc.
