Good!
After the ball is inbounded, Team B coach is screaming for his team to foul. B1 runs at A1 and gives him a big bear hug. The foul was not malicious but B1 did not make any attempt for the ball. I called an intentional.
Good! Not only was there NO play on ball (as you just reminded them), the coach violated one of the POE's for this year!
Team B caoch went crazy. He told me the intentional foul rule was to eliminate injuries and malicious fouls. What do y'all think?
See response right above!
During this same game , we also had an inadverdant whistle. Team B coach said the possesion goes to the arrow. A1 had possesion at the time. I awarded Team A the ball out of bounds. Correct call?
YES! Don't listen to the coaches...it'll get you into trouble almost EVERY time!
Another situation I was curious about is concerning back court. The ball is established in Team A's front court. The ball is passed by A1 to A2. The pass is too long for A2 and is going into the BC. Before the ball touches the floor(in the back court), A2 jumps from the front court. While in the air, he crosses the division line and bats the ball back to the front court. The play is similar to an out of bounds save but at mid court. What is the call?
NO BCV!
