I had one two years ago. Local BV team in a Christmas tournament. The team's best player punched a loose ball upcourt to a team mate for a fast break. I hit my whistle immediately and sent it the other way. Crowd started grumbling. I walked to the coach and explained the call. He said no one had ever called them for it, as this player did it all the time (he thanked me!).
Side note...star player went on to a D1 scholarship. I'm guessing he doesn't punch the ball upcourt any more.
