Had this last year in JV game. Player inbounds from her own baseline, runs out of bounds the entire baseline and comes in behind screen to get pass for wide open jump shot. My partnter immediately calls T. I didn't see the play, but as soon as my partner explained it, I understood. I am trail right next to coaches. Both JV coach and Varsity coach are all over me about the call -- because they have no idea about the rule. I tell them call is right and I will explain later.
At half-time, varsity coach asks if we could show her rule book. After seeing it in writing, she whines that in 20+ years of coaching, she never has seen that call. JV coach says that is a set play that they use "all the time." We tell her to take it out of the playbook. It will cost her a T everytime.
No doubt this was an illegal advantage. And no doubt my partner was right. The coaches still don't agree.
