Hi - I have a series of situations, and would like to know how you would handle these. I'm training 8-10 high school age officials to use in my intramural league, and occasionally I'm going to ask questions in here that we can't figure out based on the rules (or just to get other opinions on the situations)

1) A1 throws his inbounds pass after a basket off the back of B1, catches it, and heads down court. The intention is taunting. Unsportsmanlike or not?

2) A1 is dribbling down the court, and catches his dribble, throws it off the back of B1, catches it, and continues. We are assuming in this case that A1 was under no pressure, and is simply doing it as a form of taunting.

3) A1 is doing some ball handling moves, and bounces the ball off the top of B1's head. We assumed this one was unsportsmanlike, but looking for opinions.

Finally - any suggestions for things for these students to concentrate on? Most of them reffed for me last year, and we are just setting it up as a more formal class, and using some basketball teams from our school to get some practice officiating before we use them in intramural games.

Thanks for your help!
