Basketball Registering Stats Referred Questions:
About a Travel Violation on a Player Outside the Court

"... Can a travel be called on a player outside the court, clock stopped and the player is given the ball for a pass in? ..."

A travel violation cannot be called, but a throw in violation can be called.
A player taking a throw-in shall not:

 • Take more than five (5) seconds to release the ball.
 • Step into the playing court while having the ball in his hand(s)Cause the ball to touch out-of-bounds, after it has been released on the throw-in.
 • Touch the ball on the playing court before it has touched another player.
 • Cause the ball to enter the basket directly.
 • Move a total distance from the designated throw-in place, laterally in one or in both directions, not to exceed a total of one (1) metre before or while releasing the ball.
He is, however, permitted to move directly backwards from the line as far as circumstances allow.

In the case of a throw-in violation:

- if the player take more than five (5) seconds to release the ball, without opponent interference, a 'personal unforced turnover' in the 'throw in' category will be registered;

- when the violation is caused by the opponent action, a team closed defense for example, we'll register a 'team forced turnover' in the 'throw in' category.

See in our forum the 'held ball' topics and the exposition "Basketball Possessions Statistical Analysis" at eBA ONLINE.

All the terms in this answer are explained widely at The Global Basketball Encyclopedia and in eBA ONLINE.
