A couple of girls gave pressure on the ball, so he moved up to get a good angle. I've always told him, "it's about angles. Get an angle so you aren't stacked and can see the play." He rolls toward the division line about 8 feet from the action when the player split the defenders. She then rocketed a pass right at his stomach. He caught it! As a matter of fact, he caught it nicely and showed good athleticism catching such a rocket.

Anyway, at this point he didn't know what to do. The gym was quiet and not only were the 10 players on the floor looking at me, I mean him, the whole gym was looking.

My question; What would you have done at this point?

Trust me, me and my partners had a good laugh at this one.
I actually had this play happen to me during a camp one summer. I caught the ball and once I realize what I did. I dropped it and the offense actually got it back and play continued.
