When she reaches the basket she stops, is in her shooting motion when she realizes she is at the wrong hoop. She releases the ball in mid shot and short arms it, and it doesn't hit the rim and she catches it again. She never moved her pivot foot and then turns and passes the ball back in the right direction. The opposing coach is screaming for traveling. I had nothing and explained to the coach that even though it looked funny, she did not violate. What do you guys have here?
Outstanding job of holding your whistle. Too many of us call something just b/c it looks funny.
