My point being, even if this is a rule and we should all call our games according to the rules, we're going to make that call when the intent is clearly for a throw-in that goes out of bounds? That's a gutsy call (using the original poster's situation of rolling a throw-in), and a difficult one to sell to the coach when he goes off on you. [/B][/QUOTE]
The call is a violation. That may or may not be a gutsy call depending on your ability, and credibility as an official. I would be more concerned with the call being a correct one than with selling the call to a coach. How would you sell a non-call to an opposing coach who wants to know why it was not called? I am not sure where the statement "the intent is clearly for a throw-in that goes out of bounds?" originates? This situation starts OOB.
