[Back In The Saddle]

I saw this in a boys varsity game last week. The ball goes out over the base line, and we're staying here. Throw-in is not at the lane line, but that's where everybody sets up. The official is standing out near the arc, holding the ball, trying to get the thrower to come down there. Thrower holds his ground. The official sets the ball down next to him and starts his count. Predictably the thrower hustled over, picked up the ball, and made his throw-in from there. I saw no more problems with throw-ins that half. I'll have to add that to my bag o' tricks.
