When I handed the ball for the throw in, A1 tossed the ball in and then ran along the side line still out of bounds, and cut in for a pass after about 10 feet. It was pretty clear to me what happened, and I couldn't justify warning him about the play. You have to determine intent and advantage.
Might not be a bad idea to whisper something in the player or coach's ear in this case,if you get a chance.See casebook play 10.3.4SitB.You might not wanna call it,but you shouldn't let a team use it consistently either.They are getting an advantage then.
I've seen this play or a similar one twice. Both times I warned at the next dead ball, since it was freshman girls, and I figured it would be unfair to give a T for a rule that nobody knows. It was obvious they'd never heard this before. If they'd have done it after I warned, though, I would not have hesitated to pop them
