The kid didn't drop the ball and leave it there for me to get. He didn't wing it away. As soon as I asked him for the ball, he immediately gave it up, he just gave it to the other official (who was the one who made the travel call to begin with, was one the same sideline I was, and about 20 feet away.) Do I think he did it on purpose because he had an attitude? Yes, I believe so. So what? We addressed it and had no further problems. You want to "T" every kid who has ever rolled their eyes or shaken their head in irritation after you have made a call against them?
Anyway, my issue has never been about whether or not this was a T. I am quite comfortable with how it was handled. It was about the delay of game that was called that wasn't one of the official types of delay.
