Invitation to "Go the Wrong Way"

Have a local school which, among it's bag-o-tricks plays, sends all their players to the wrong end of the court after a time-out so that when their throw-in takes place, all they have to do is hit their open player streaking with the ball toward the vacant end of the court for an easy two points. In spite of our point toward the proper direction upon administering the throw-in, the visiting teams get caught unawares by it about 3/4 of the time.
Same team, when needing to stall, does the old "line five players up shoulder-to-shoulder and pass the ball to each other over the OOB area to draw a foul" (for which 9.10.1D was included), which works about 3/4 of the time also, mostly because coaches don't know the casebook on that one.
Oh, it's a girls' JV team.
