What is an "Out Of Bounds" play??? And if you are coaching and taking it this seriously, why don't you have your own rulebook? What happens if one of your players asks you about a rule, how are you going to answer their question authoritatively and definitively? Isn't part of your job as a coach to young children to teach them the rules of the game? Can't do that without a rulebook. Maybe one of your players' parents is in a coach's chatroom complaining about you.
And tournament or not, these are still 8 & 9 year-olds. They are still learning the game. Maybe the wrong girl was taking it out and being 8 years-old they weren't thinking about the "designated spot throw-in" rule, just thinking "oh no, Michelle supposed to be taking it out, not me". If I were the ref I might have let it go also depending on the circumstances of the game.
