2)I don't see the play in question as the same as saving a ball that is headed out of bounds. The point of emp. as well as the throw in rule says the game is to be played ON the court. The player is surely (legally)inbounds but he is not on the court. If we judge there is a clear unfair advantage gained or that the player (by way of the coach) is trying to circumvent the rules we should make the call. However I think I need a little more to go on to believe this is whats happening and would let it go.
1)What has that got to do with anything? It's completely irrelevant.

2)Sigh. What unfair advantage is being gained in this play? What rule is the player trying to circumvent? There's nothing at all to judge on this play because you don't have any rules basis to make a call of any kind. It's that simple. If you can think of a rule that is being broken, post the rule number.
