So I take that there is no authority to administer any penalty (and I have been unable to find any) such as a technical foul, violation, etc.
I ask because my daughter plays and is usually happy to run down a ball for the official (especially if her team is getting the ball
), but gets frustrated when the ball is sitting 6-8 feet from an official and he tells the girls on the court "someone needs to get me the ball"
. Obviously the officials shouldn't have to chase the ball all over the gym, but a few seem to take it to the extreme then indirectly threaten some penalty if the girls don't run it down for them every time.
