I can live with any of the alternatives that any of you give except the one where you personally e-mail me and throw a hissy. You give a funny, sarcastic, response and everybody laughs, EXPCEPT: someone who asks an honest question and wants an honest answer. I was just saying that sometimes you/us regulars blow off the newbies questions because we have heard them before. [/B][/QUOTE]
Thanks devdog about your kind words about us newcomers. I am a newcomer to this list and have hesitated to post more for fear of getting some type of "holier than thou", condenscending response that I have seen from a few people here. Officiating Basketball is my third job right now and I don't have time to read all the posts so really don't know what has been discussed in the past.
BTW, in this situation, I've always blown the whistle to stop play and allowed team B to take the ball out again with a warning that if it happens again, it will be a turnover. Don't know if this is correct but I've never had a coach challenge me on it.
I suppose I'm not too consistent though because in the slightly different case of when a player inbounding the ball is standing on the line, I've always called an immediate turnover without any type of "do-over." This has its advantages because rarely does a team make the same mistake twice.
