Law 15 - Throw In 4/9/2008

RE: varsity Under 17

david of somewhere, south carolina usa asks...

if i were to do a flip throw in....do i have to begin running with the ball in my hands? or would it be legal to pick it up mid-flip?

Answer provided by Referee Steve Montanino

I suppose you could pick it up mid flip provided you met all the requirements of law 15.

Though, you might hurt yourself.

Sounds like an injury waiting to happen. You players never cease to amaze me with ways to hurt yourselves. Whatever you do, if all the requiremnents of Law 15 are met, it's a fair throw. Ever wonder why you never see flip throws on TV?
