Dan, good additional thoughts and clarifications. Thanks.
Walt, you are exactly right. As a matter of fact, I had that call on Tuesday night. A designated spot throw in, but the throwing team ran a play that included another player jumping out of bounds, receiving a bounce pass from the thrower, and then attempting to throw the ball in bounds. When the original thrower threw to the second player out of bounds, I whistled and called it a violation. It seemed kinder at the moment and, to be honest, assessing a technical didn't cross my mind at the time. Thanks, Walt, for the dose of practical officiating.
