Whoaaaa Nellieeee!!!
BktBallRef and DownTownTonyBrown lets get back to the original play, which is a resuming play situation.
Team A is to make a designated spot throw-in after a team timeout. The administering official sounds his whistle, indicates both verbally and visually. There is not mistaking that Team A is to make the throw-in. At the appropriate time the administering official places the ball on the floor at the spot of the designated spot throw-in and starts a five second count. Why? By rule the ball is at the disposal of Team A for a throw-in. Team A's throw-in has started. B1 cannot break the plane of the boundary line. If B1 does she has commited a infraction of the rules regarding throw-ins. It does not matter if B1 is confused. That fact that B1 is confused is her problem and is of no concern to the administering official. This is not a mistake by the officials.
