I step out of the way and let it go out of bounds. Blow whistle for violation and give ball to other team. I know I did the right thing. Here is my question: how would you have handled it if I had caught the ball? Go to possession arrow?

As soon as I recognize that not a soul is making a move and thought it was 2 shots I am going to hit my whistle as soon as a player, some player, for the love of God! Any player has possession of the ball and give that team the ball OOB at the nearest spot. Now if just ONE player has the frame of mind to make a play on the ball then I will withold the whistle.
