You either have to pass on the call entirely or cancel the result of the play and bring the ball back to the spot of the violation (which could be clear back to the far endline if that's where the opponent left the court).

Back in the Saddle, I don't understand why you don't think you CAN have a delayed whistle on this. It would be the same as whacking a coach or player who mouthed off at you before a scoring opportunity by the other team after the made basket, would it not? [/B][/QUOTE]Well I'm not opposed to holding the whistle on this, but the rules don't support it. There is a case play to support holding the whistle on the T. Perhaps there will be one to support this call as well.

I guess I'll have to break down and buy the case book as soon as it's avialable too.
