I called one years ago.It was exactly the same as the casebook play used to illustrate the rule.A1 inbounding on the right side of the lane,throws it in to his right,then goes left down the endline OOB and uses a perpendicular double pick set right by the endline to come free for a 15ft. jumper after they swing the ball to that side.They ran it and missed the shot.I had a chance to whisper to the coach- "illegal play,coach,and you know it.Get him back inbounds right away,or I'm gonna have to call it". Damned if they didn't run it again in the next quarter.I even told the thrower in(same kid) to get back inbounds right away.He gave me a blank look and ignored me. I T'd him up this time as soon as he came back inbounds and got the pass. Didn't hear a word from the coach,except for a muttered "should have known better with you".I took that as a compliment.
