Last night, 8th Grade girls (need I go on?
)
3.5 seconds remaining in 4th Qtr, Blue up by two is shooting 1st shot of bonus FTs
Airball.
Red coach calls time out. Assistant coach, who had been chirping throughout the game, (father of a player who was violently blocked on a drive and had her feelings hurt earlier in the quarter) races out to me to tell me that the throw-in is administered at the intersection of the sideline and the FT Line extended because the shooter is the one who violated during the FT.
Sorry Coach. By rule, the ball will be inbounded at the endline. By rule, this could be a technical. He walks away in disgust.
I almost thought I had Bobby Knights younger brother
which is the basis of most of these coaches. They saw it on TV. (That is a whole new thread
)
For JR, and other seasoned veterans: Wasnt inbounding at the division after a Time-out in the NBA rules a few years back?
