I quickly explain to Coach A about team conrol. She didn't understand but nodded.
Well into Front court, waiting for throw-in, my young partner walked 30 feet.
He said: "It was tipped!"
I said "I know. B ball."

Partner said: "But, it was tipped!"
I said : "We're not gonna talk about it. Throw it in."
