Ah, the good old days. With a wink, and a nod, we used to do this all the time.
Now, on the high school level, when every grandmother has a smart phone to record the game, this is a tool that we can no longer use. I haven't done this in many years.
It was so easy back then. Before, easy decision, out of bounds, ball to the team that was "fouled", everybody's happy. Now, was the contact incidental, or a foul? Incidental, the last team to touch the ball doesn't get the throwin. Now I've got coaches yapping at me for either the foul/no foul call, and/or, the out of bounds call.
Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
for we were young and sure to have our way.
(Mary Hopkin, 1968)
