Is it correct for an official to call a throw-in violation if A-1 touches the ball near the division line?

In basketball, the throw-in procedure is governed by specific rules that dictate when a violation occurs. When A-1 touches the ball near the division line during a throw-in, it is not automatically considered a violation unless certain conditions are met.

In this situation, A-1 touching the ball near the division line does not constitute a violation. The player executing the throw-in has the right to touch the ball as part of the throw-in process. A violation would typically occur if the player violates the boundaries of the throw-in, such as stepping over the line or failing to pass the ball in-bounds within the allowable time.

Therefore, the correct response is that it is not a violation simply for A-1 to touch the ball in that scenario. Touching the ball near the division line during a throw-in does not automatically imply an infringement unless additional circumstances indicate otherwise.
