Freshman boys. Partner calls foul on black team. White is in the bonus. I go to Lead to administer. As partner is walking to Trail position, he clearly says to me "1&1!" In the lane, I clearly say, "Line up men, 1&1." There is some shuffling along the lane, so I repeat "1&1, men" as I toss the ball to the white team's shooter. Naturally he clanks it off the side of the rim. I guess the players heard me say 2 shots, because no one moves, & ball is bouncing toward sideline. Black team member in lowest lane position, thinking he's being helpful, grabs ball and starts walking toward me. I did my best to not see him travel, while his parents in the stands are yelling at him to dribble. Unfortunately, I did see him throw it to me where I was standing out of bounds.

Had a similar situation--but ball was bouncing in the lane while everyone looked at it. Finally one kid figured it out and grabbed it.
