Having read and reread the last three case books on re-serve (NFHS 8.1.5) I have a simple question for all of you:
After the signal for serve the player bounces the ball a few times and looks to the coach for direction, noticing that the coach is busy, the player just stands there. Just before the 5 seconds is up the player looks at me and drops the ball to the floor. Should I give the player their one and only re-serve or should I whistle the 5 seconds and move on?
If you have several of the older case books please read situation 2 carefully and then give me your best answer. You may also "quote" the case books if you like. Also, find the word "toss" in the rule book for me, okay?
