This occurred in the JV game I mentioned in "Where oh where is my partner?"

Home(H)is down by two, Visitors(V) have spot throw-in on endline. V Coach calls time-out with 3.8 seconds.

V1 inbounds H1 & 2 trap and have a clean reach for the ball. H1 creates a clean "held ball." I whistle with a strong signal (Thumbs up). I look at the clock, .3 second and AP for home. Home has no TO's.

I recalled the lengthy discussion we had on this issue, so I hustled over to the timer, got both coaches (partner is there too) and I quickly explain that this is a situation where ONLY A TAP can score. Hustle back to endline, benchside to administer the spot throw-in.

H1 inbounds to H2 at top of the key. H2 catches the ball while airborne and returns to the floor. My partner had a whistle before H2 hit the floor.

I felt that this situation was handle in the best way possible. I wanted to say it went smoothly because of what I picked up here in the forum.
