Funny story.

I was working a boys Sophomore/Freshman game, I can't remember and it doesn't matter in the end. It was sub-JV.

I'm administering a throw-in at the division line. A1 throws the ball to A2 while A2 is in the air. A2 jumped from the front-court to the back-court, but caught the ball in the air. The coach of team B yells "over and back!". In my head I'm thinking REALLY? Did you just say that?. So I go over to him for an explanation per his vehement request and tell him there's no Team Control on a throw in so the front-court is not established yet, therefore there is no "over" on the "over and back". He was mystified, and this is the icing on the cake: a fan of team B yells at me while I'm walking away from the coach "Your wrong. Read a rule book!"

Does anyone want to bet me that either of those two men can't give the color of ONE of the rule books?

I can take the abuse if I make a marginal call against a team, but one thing I can't get over is stupid people. I just needed a place to vent.
