That throw in sitch is my pet peeve. Unfortunately, too many refs at 7th grade get that wrong.
I have only been t'd up a few times in 12 years, and 2 of them were this situation. And that was in the last few years because I think that rule was adjusted 5 years or so ago.
What really upset me, is the partner saw the whole thing, I called a time-out and asked the partner to please discuss it with the guy that made the call, at this point, I am calm cool and as red in the face as you can get without curse words coming out. When the partner says, I know it was wrong coach, but I don't feel I should over-rule him on this one, I came unglued. Sorry, call me a howler, but I understand this to be a correctable error, but this partner didn't have enough balls to do it.
