Play: A1 is dribbling in the
frontcourt when B1 deflects the ball away. The ball then hits a spectator who is walking by but is on the court. You sound your whistle. What is your call?

a) The ball is out of bounds

b) This is an inadvertent whistle

c) The ball is NOT out of bounds

d) Resume play at the point of interruption, giving the ball to Team A

e) Resume play at the point of interruption, giving the ball to Team B

What answer(s) are correct?

[mcrowley]

My answer is A. Out of bounds, D ball goes to A.

[mkomnick]

I would say the answer is D. Since the spectator was on the court and interfered with the ball, it would go from the point of interruption with Team A, since they still had team control.
