I askd the coach as you serious? And he was. He was telling me I should read the rule book. Coach from Team A was laughing as was the rest of the crew. Some coaches are not too educated.

Well, that coach was well educated....
at some prior date.
That was once the rule. The throwing team had 5 seconds to "complete" the throwin. But, as we all know, the rule now states that the thrower must relase the throwin pass within 5 seconds.
