Some have the impression that the
bail must be thrown at right angles
from the spot where it left the court.
This is incorrect. The ball may be
thrown at angle-in other words. in
any direction, but it must be thrown
while the player is standing at right
angles to the spot where the ball left
The field. That is, the player must
stand on the same outside boundary

most basket ball teams that have a

keep it in the back court and pass it
