Violation or mistake?
What do you call if a player starts to leave a marked lane space BEFORE the ball is placed at the disposal of the shooter (meaning in the shooters hand)?
What if that player is in transition from one area on the court to another?
Like others said before me, I blow it dead because all the players were not set and legal before the shooter gets the ball. I start over and don't penalize either team for my mistake of not telling the players to hold their positions. If either coach gets upset, I will tell him that it was my mistake and I would give him the same courtesy. Then go back and start the play over.
At 5.1 seconds in a close, critical game I let the players decide the outcome of the game not me!
