Now for my story of the day. Many years ago in a boys' H.S. jr. varisty game in Michigan, in the second quarter, H1 was dribbling the ball near Team V's bench. I was L opposite the S/TT. My partner called a foul near the ball. At the time of the foul, he pointed toward Team H's basket. I switched and when the time was right, I gave the ball to H1 for a throw-in, who passed the ball directly to H2 who turned and made a layup. At this point V-HC wanted to know why Team H had gotten the ball for the throw-in after H2 had committed the foul against V2 near the ball.  I stopped the game before Team V could inbound the ball and asked my partner what he had? He said that he had a foul on H2 against V2 (this was before the NFHS and NCAA brought back the Team Control Foul penalty we have now and Team V was not in the bonus). I then did the unthinkable. I knew exactly how much time was on the clock when the foul was called. You can all guess what I did next.

Yep, you basically invoked 10.1.8 except for the technical foul and warning part (obviously, this was NOT an unsporting act, but the implementation fits).....
A SPECIFIC UNSPORTING ACT
*10.1.8 SITUATION: Immediately following a goal or free throw by Team A, A1 inbounds the ball to A2 and A2 subsequently throws the ball through A' basket.
RULING:
The following procedure has been adopted to handle this specific situation if it is recognized before the opponents gain control or before the next throw-in begins: (a) charge Team A with an unsporting technical foul; (b) assess a delay-of-game warning for interfering with the ball after a goal; (
c) cancel the field goal; (d) cancel any common foul(s) committed and any non-flagrant foul against A2 in the act of shooting; and (e) put "consumed" time back on the clock.
COMMENT: If there is no doubt the throw-in was a result of confusion, the entire procedure would be followed except no unsporting team technical foul would be charged. A team technical would be assessed if the team had received a previous delay warning.
This procedure shall not be used in any other throw-in situation in which a mistake allows the wrong team to inbound the ball. (4-47-3; 10-1-5d)
So close to getting it right...
