Why is throwing the ball off a player as you fall out of bounds legal?

I've always wondered this. Why are you allowed to just beam a player with a basketball if you are falling out of bounds. If you did that during regular play, it would be an automatic tech, probably even an ejection.

Because it can be interpreted as an attempt to keep the ball from going out of bounds.
It isn't that, but it's reasonable to interpret it as such.

I'd argue it should be done more. why waste a timeout when trapped in a corner or near line? throw it off their legs and restart

why is spiking the football not intentional grounding?

If you spiked a football in public, you wouldn't be charged with assault.

Because you're not being pressured or in imminent threat of a sack.

Stupid because you are used to seeing it. Doesn't mean the play shouldn't be illegal. It's a danger to players.

I'm assuming you've never played Pick Up before...

The same reason you throw the ball anywhere near another player to avoid a sack (without getting intentional grounding, at least)... You obviously didn't mean for them to catch it, but you wanted to avoid the sack and get rid of the ball.

I've played basketball, and I've done it. That doesn't mean the play shouldn't be illegal.

Why is fouling a player on purpose not an intentional foul

Why isn't a field goal dead when the holder catches it with his knee on the ground?
On a fake he can take the snap with his knee on the ground, stand up and run or pass.
Kick holders are above the law!

Based on the upvote/downvote tally, this post must be pure genius.
