- B1 reached through the throw in plane (live ball)
- I blow the whistle for the DOG (dead ball)
- B1 contacts the ball while A1 still is holding it (dead ball)
The example you provided almost fits mine above, but rather than saying knock it off I'd blow it dead and issue a DOG. If I didn't blow it dead due to the violation then yes, I agree you have to call the T there.
Not trying to argue, just trying to get this right. Thanks. |
If it's all the same action ("reach-through-and-touch-the-held-ball-all-in-one-motion") then it's a T, no matter how quick your whistle.
If it's separate acts ("reach through and then make another stab at and touch the ball") then it's a DOG violation (the first time), no matter how slow the whistle.
