Guilty. I actually called that this year. I've never seen the play before, and, of course, I've never seen the violation called before, and that says a lot, I've been playing, coaching, or officiating since the late sixties. After the player punched the ball, something from the dark recesses of my brain told me that it was illegal, and I blew my whistle. I immediately regretted it. I was probably the only person in the gymnasium who knew it was illegal. It was, by far, my worst call of the year. Luckily it was in a blowout game.
