[just another ref]

How many here have ever called a fist violation? I never have and have never seen the call. Tonight, BV, a couple of times on a throw-in I saw a player hold out his fist and let the ball gently strike it, to then be picked up by the thrower after stepping in bounds. I really don't think this is the situation they had in mind when they wrote this rule anyway, plus the score was about 30-12 at the time, so I made no call. I did tell the coach at the half that a fist was the same as a kick, so he might want to tell the kid to stop it. He thanked me and assured me that he would.
