One for the forum
Boys JV tonight. Partner gives the home team the ball for a spot throw in. Thrower moves just a bit and partner hits his whistle, signals travel, and announces that the player moved his pivot foot. I quickly trotted over and we discussed the situation and set things straight. So, give a point to this forum, as this was a situation discussed in a thread a week or two ago...and it actually sunk into my thick head!
However, as I'm feeling awefully good about myself, I was heading down court as the trail in two-person and saw the dribbler take a weird step while picking up his dribble. I immediately thought, oops. I put just enough air in my whistle to generate a soft, weak tweet while at the same time realized, oops. I quickly turned to the table, announced inadvertent whistle, and inbounded the ball as quickly as i possibly could. This knocked me back down to earth. However, I learned about handling inadvertent whistles on this forum, too, so chalk another one up!
That's 2-0 if you're keeping score.
