Saturday I worked an 8th grade boys tournament. One team was running a flex offense setting lots of screens on the low block. More than once did an offensive player step out of bounds while going around either the screener or the defender. I called the violation just one time and only when the player immediately caught a pass in the paint for an easy score. The coach of the violating team said right away.."good call stripes". My philosophy is to pass on the call unless the player/team gains an IMMEDIATE advantage as was the case on Saturday.
