What would you do?

My friend had this happen to him in a 7th Grade A Team game (NFHS Rules). What would you do? Here goes: A1 makes a basket. After the ball goes through the basket, B1 picks it up and begins dribbling it down court towards their basket and crosses half court and passes off for B2 to take a shot.

What would you do? Blow the whistle as soon as B1 took the ball and started towards their basket giving them the opportunity to take the ball and inbound it? Would you stay at the endline and begin a 5-second count? If you did begin a count and B1 or B2 tried to come back to inbound the ball properly, is it a backcourt violation?

This question has produced alot of discussion as to what the proper decision would be. Needless to say, the coaches had questions too. We can't find anything in the rule or case book on this issue, but maybe you can.

What do you think?
