I was working the Kentucky Hoopfest last week and had a coach try to work me during a timeout because I failed to call traveling on an inbounds play. I tell you it was during the Hoopfest because that is a tournament full of top player from the U.S. and Canada and is watched by several hundred college coaches. You would think these teams would be coached by someone who knows what he's doing.
Nevertheless, I explained to him that there was no such thing as travelling on an inbounds play by the player throwing the ball in and explained the three foot box and told him the player coul dance a jig in the box if he wanted to. I thought I had him convinced until he went over and asked one of my partners the same thing. My partners concurred with me, of course, but I fear there that Howler Monkey still roams the streets not knowing this rule. Perhaps, we should get him together with PA Coach's rec league refs. Those boys would have a good time.
