Can a bounce pass from a short distance between two players be penalized for a short pass?
Yes. The distance between the hands of the thrower and the hands of the receiver must allow for a third person to move between them. The required distance is not 3 feet or .9 metre nor a measure of the distance the ball travels as many mistakenly believe. It is a judgement call by the umpire as to whether the distance between the hands was sufficient to allow a third player to move between them.

in more ways than one
The early 'shoot from anywhere' era is over. Smart teams now use data-driven decision models to decide when the two-pointer is worth it.
The short pass is being penalised more consistently in 2026. Here's how to train proper passing technique and eliminate hand-offs under pressure.
No more 50/50 toss-ups. When simultaneous infringements occur, possession now goes to the team that last had the ball. Here's what it means for your coaching.
