At the end of a game, there's no way the player is throwing it to the official in my game. Either they've already tried it and I've dealt with it, or they've been doing it correctly all game and it's even more obvious that this is an attempt to cheat the system.

Best case scenario, I stop the clock and re-administer the throwin.

If I'm quick enough, I move and let it fly. B1 knows better.
We'll just have to agree to disagree.

if you do this, you will just look like a fool especially when there is no doubt that the player is throwing it to you. Everybody will think "what the hell is he doing, the player is just trying to toss him the ball, what an idiot". I know you might not care about that but it makes the game look better when you don't look like you are trying to be a punk referee, trying to "teach the kid a lesson". Furthermore, what is less advantageous, you killing the play and re-administering or just catching and slapping the ball quickly to the player and continuing your count? The thought of just letting the ball fly by as it is knowingly being thrown to you baffles me????
