A Week Of Firsts ...

It took twenty-eight years, but I finally called this violation for the first time, ever. A player didn't realize how close to the baseline he was and shot the ball straight up, into, and through the net and rim.

RULE 9 SECTION 4 TRAVEL, KICK, FIST
A player shall not travel with the ball, as in 4-44, intentionally kick it, as in 4-29, strike it with the fist or cause it to enter and pass through the basket from below.

And last night my partner called another violation that I had never seen called before. During an inbounds situation, the throwin player handed, not passed, the ball to a teammate inbounds.

RULE 9 SECTION 2 THROW-IN PROVISIONS
ART. 2: The ball shall be passed by the thrower directly into the court from out-of-bounds so it touches or is touched by another player (inbounds or out of bounds) on the court before going out of bounds untouched.

I think that the only call left for me as a "first" is a multiple foul?
