I agree, you should enforce rules but sometimes you need to do the right thing for the kids. It also may depend on where the ball was going. If it hit you that close to being ob and you were that far away, could the ball have been caught by someone inbounds. I saw a play one time in transition when the player caught the ball and when he turned he hit the official. The ball went ob and the official said he was in the way and give the team who lost the ball back to them. He told both coaches and neither had a problem with it. Sometimes even coaches can agree that the right thing needs to be done. How many times have we all been hit by the ball or got in the way of the players. We are just not as fast as some of these kids on the court.
