RULE 4 / DEFINITIONS<br />

1. A ball that is not in contact with a player or the playing court retains<br />

the same status as when it was last in contact with a player or the<br />

playing court. This does not apply to a try in flight.<br />

b. A throw-in to the offended team (men) at the division line for a single<br />

contact dead ball technical or a single flagrant 2 technical and (women) a<br />

designated spot nearest to where the ball was located when the stoppage<br />

occurred for a contact dead ball technical foul, an administrative technical<br />

for an excessive timeout or a single flagrant 2 technical foul.<br />

or when a team is entitled to such with no reset of the shot clock.<br />

d. An alternating-possession throw-in at a designated spot with a reset of<br />

the shot clock when the point of interruption is such that neither team<br />

is in control and no goal, infraction, nor end of half/extra period is<br />

involved. When there is no team control due to a try in flight and the try<br />

is unsuccessful, the ball is awarded to the team entitled to the atlernatingpossession<br />

a. Displace, charge or push an opponent.<br />

b. Extend either or both shoulders, hips, knees or extend either or both arms<br />

or elbows fully or partially in a position other than vertical so that the<br />

of these body parts occurs.<br />

c. Bend his/her body in an abnormal position to hold or displace an<br />

opponent.<br />

d. Violate the principle of verticality.<br />

Art. 3. Every player shall be entitled to a spot on the playing court, provided that<br />

such player gets there first without illegally contacting an opponent. (Exception:<br />

Rule 4-35.7)<br />

Section 56. Restricted Area<br />

The restricted area is defined as the area bounded by the outer edge of the restricted<br />

area arc, which has a 3-foot radius measured from the center of the basket and<br />

extending to the face of the backboard (See court diagram in Rule 1). A secondary<br />

defender is considered to be in the restricted area when any part of either foot is in<br />

or above this area.
