I was told to start officiating with 7th graders, because I would see it all. No kidding...
A1 shoots and makes his 2nd free throw. A2 quickly inbounds with a long pass to A3 running in the other direction. A3 is heading for a layup when he is fouled by B1 before he gets the shot off. Me? I'm feeling good because I beat these guys down the floor and had a good angle to call the foul!
Of course, unlike me, all of you experts are aware that the wrong team inbounded the ball!!
Our solution: we put 5 seconds back on the clock, ignored the foul, and gave team B the inbounds that they should have had. Was this reasonable?
PS. The next time A scored, they started to inbounds again--caught that one!
