Somehow, from the deep, dark recesses of my mind, acting on instinct, I figured out that this was illegal and blew my whistle for the violation, after which I proceeded to tell the two boys to never do that again when an official hands you the ball for a spot throwin. First time I called that violation in thirty years. Work enough games at this level and you'll go through every rule in the whole book.
Wow. I have never seen above the rim play at that level. What are they serving for hot lunch in CT?
