Did I make the right call on THIS situation?
YMCA girls' middle school game.
A1 gets trapped in her frontcourt in the right corner by two B players. She heaves a pass over the basket [within a foot of the rim] but it doesn't touch the rim, but goes to her teammate, A2, who is in the far left corner of their frontcourt. As A1 throws the ball, B1 hits her forearm. I call a foul on B1, but on the pass and not on a shot. The coach of the other team goes crazy, and so does some of his parents. They are screaming that it was a shot. I was pretty close to the situation where the player was trapped and I saw the look in her eyes; she wasn't looking at the basket, but was looking at her teammate cross court.
Did I make the right call, giving it to the A team for an oob throwin? Or because the ball went right over the rim, should I have considered it a try, even though in my opinion it was more of a pass attempt.
Your opinion on this, please.
