if the crowd goes ooooooo, some will blow the whistle
Last night, BV A1 is pushing the ball up, guarded by B1 frontcourt tableside. I was trail, close behind the play. A1 trying to turn the corner, but B1 beats him to the spot, and sets up, hands straight up, apparently hoping to draw the charge, probably 2 feet from the sideline. A1 tries to avoid him, but there is a bump and he staggers backward, sideways, out of bounds, as the ball goes on without him. B1 freezes, looking at me with the deer in the headlights look. A1 alertly jumps back inbounds and grabs the ball, which is now behind B1. I have nothing. Partner is lead, outside the endline on the far side of the lane, probably
at least 40 feet away. He whistles a violation from there. "No, he can't come back in like that."
