After the ball is inbounded, I call a foul on B1, walk towards the table with the coaching staring at me with a, "WTF" look on his face. I say, "Coach, there's no travelling or dribbling rules during a throw in, I'll show you the book after the game if you want." Coach looked at me even more puzzled than before. All I could do was laugh inside.
My enjoyable call from a long time ago: I'm the L in a two-man crew. A1 is in the lane, puts up a shot, misses everything and grabs the rebound.

As the ball touches his hands I start preparing for B's coach to yell for a travel....which he does (actually, he started yelling "That's a self-pass!").

The T came when he lost it after A1 hit the put-back and was fouled.
