Boys 7th Grade Tourney this weekend.
2-whistle.
I am lead.
A1 attempts a FT by slamming the ball on the floor about 1/3 the way to the basket. The ball hit the rim before I "processed" what I had just observed and whistled it dead. The trail never whistled it dead.
A1's Coach wanted to know why I whistled it dead. He claimed it had been allowed in previous games. I calmly explained it was a violation because it failed to make contact with the rim BEFORE it hit the floor, just like an "airball" on a FT attempt. He accepted the explanation, but appeared like he STILL did not understand why it was a violation.
