Following a goal by A1 the ball is:
(a) inadvertently deflected under the bleachers;
(b) bouncing on the court just outside the end line as B1 makes his/her way toward the ball; or
(c) lying on the court just outside the end line as B1 delays the inbound by getting instruction from his/her coach. When does the throw-in begin and the ball become live?
In
(a), the official shall signal for the clock to be stopped. The throw-in begins and the ball becomes live when it is at the disposal of Team B. In
(b) and
(c), the throw-in begins and the ball becomes live when it is available to B1 and the official begins the throw-in count. In
