Inbounds Pass - Pass thrown-in from out-of-bounds.
Incidental Contact - Minor, usually inadvertent contact, that is usually ignored by officials.
The inbounds pass is contested. The defender of the inbounds passer makes the pass as difficult as possible by yelling, jumping up and down, waving her arms, and staying in the passing lane.
Solving the Inbounds Pass
The pass from out of bounds is often the most challenging part of breaking a press. It is the one time when everything is static. Once the ball is moving down the court, its much easier to create openings.
To receive the inbounds pass, the point guard must get open. Too often I see young point guards trying to get open by running away from the defender, which is usually unsuccessful.
SPLIT CUT ON INBOUNDS PASS:
Whether you screen to get open or cut to get open, you must decide where you want your cutters to be to put the most pressure on the defense.
On January 8, 1982, Dan Roundfield of the Atlanta Hawks scored when the Milwaukee Bucks' Harvey Catchings accidentally deflected a last-second inbounds pass from the Hawks' Tom McMillen into the basket, with the Hawks winning, 90-88.
3 must expire on the game clock when a player secures possession of an inbounds pass and then attempts a field goal. If less than :00.3 expires in such a situation, the timer will be instructed to deduct AT LEAST :00.3 from the game clock.
Q: I have a question regarding an inbounds pass. The incident occured during a recreation game. One team had the ball out of bounds in the back court on the sideline, near the half court line.

Timing is the key here.Practice this over and over and get your timing right.Coach Max Robinson from California sent me this play.
On the made lay-up #2 becomes the inbounds passer, #3 becomes the pass receiver and #1 must deny #3 the ball. Ball must be in-bounded below the foul line and they play 2-on-1 the other way. As soon as ball is in-bounded the next group goes.
If none comes he button hooks and cuts back to take 4's inbounds pass.
