Just wondering

I had this exact play in a game. A1 grabbed the ball from teh net and threw to a streaking A2. The intent was to gain an advantage and avoid any delay, that being taking the ball out of bounds properly.. I had no problem calling a violation for an illegal throw in. Coach jumped up and wanted to know what his player did, and I told him. Simple as that.. All in how you handle it as far as the coaches go. I do not understand why anyone would have a problem calling this a violation.

Most refs have no problem calling a T with six men on the court when ussually this is due to our mistake, this could just be an innocent mistake, why pennalize it.... Yet they don't want to call this play when a team is obviously trying to gain an illegal advantage.

I guess I just don't understand.
