HOLY CHIT!!!! Over and OVer I kept saying to myself, and srcarfed spoonful after spoonful of humble pie trying to expain this to the guy.
I love youth games for the trouble that rears its head no matter how you handle things.
Curious as to how you guys would have explained that to the coach?

Call a do over.
Snake -- you forgot the most important part of this sentence, namely the smilie. You ARE joking, right?
With 10 year olds I would be inclined to just wipe the basket and re-do the throw in as well. It's clearly a mistake and it is 10 year olds. What's the harm?
I'm not a hard-nose as a rule, but in anything above 10 year old gym class, I don't think you can have a do-over and admit to it afterward. If the basket hadn't been scored yet, it would be a little less troublesome, but still not "according to Hoyle". I sure wouldn't do it in a high school game. Regardless of what Chris says, do-overs aren't legal in this situation.
