Delay of Game, defensive player makes contact with inbound pass before re-establishing on court Delay of Game, defensive player crosses boundary line before ball is inbounded Delay of Game, defensive player crosses boundary line before ball is inbounded
“This is an example of a Delay of Game Violation that occurs during an inbound pass. Damyean Dotson, the defensive player defending the inbounds pass, delays the game by stepping on the boundary line before the inbounder releases the pass. This is a violation, as a defender may not cross the boundary line and interfere with the ball being inbounded. Please note that the first offense is a warning, and a technical foul shall be assessed with each successive offense.”
