The player must throw it from the spot on which he catches it, allowance to be made for a man who catches the ball running at a good speed if he tries to stop. The ball may be batted in any direction with one or both hands (never with the fist).Current Rule: This rule still applies, with the exception that now a team is not allowed to pass the ball back over the midcourt line once they have taken it over that line. The ball may be thrown in any direction with one or both hands.
