Any experience with this call?
Called it this year and the coach went bonkers and then tried to twist it so that the distance traveled wasn't that far. Completely across the key, coach, is far. To his credit, we spoke after the game about the issue. He said other schools do it too. I said I'd watch them for it as well. But he is known to bend the rules more than any coach I've seen. Most other coaches don't even try to bend the rules in our area.
