Home coach provided the ball, and it bounces. Works for me.

I've changed a ball twice.
Once there was too much air, and a bunch of dribbling violations were occuring... both ways.
Another time, we were using a Boy's ball in a Girl's game.

mick,
Carry a valve needle in your pocket and you can always let out a little air prior to the game. Hardly a game goes by that we don't take air out. An over inflated ball can lead to a very rough, physical game.

A couple of times we've had an over inflated ball. We just requested the Home Team get us another ball. There has been a couple of other times we just let um play with the over inflated ball.
I can possibly see more traveling or carrying violations, also the ball bouncing out further from the rim on a shot...but, "lead(ing) to a very rough, physical game"...please explain.
