My only question on this tempest in a teapot is this:
You mean to tell me you can't tell by watching a player whether he was attempting a try or a pass?: eek:
I actually had this call last season during a JV game. It was readily apparent on the fast break that the player was trying to lob the player ahead of the play but threw the ball too far. It hit the rim and went into the backcourt. I could tell it was a pass and called the violation.
It would've been easier to let it go as its one of those rulings that because coaches and crowd don't know all the nuances of the rules. But the easy call isn't the right call. The coach was upset. I explained to him the rule and my judgement and he accepted it. The crowd never did, but who cares.
