For sake of moving this discussion along, I will reluctantly admit that this is not a backyard, or sandlot, variety do-over.

However, to my other point, 10.1.8 does back up my contention that the NFHS feels that high school varsity basketball players can become confused during a throwin situation (in this case a very specific situation) and (in this very specific case) that confusion can result in rules being "bent". If the NFHS feels that high school varsity players can become confused during a throwin, then why can't some admit that seventh graders can also become confused during a throwin. I do not expect others to allow a do-over, that's the "When in Rome" aspect of this, but I would think that they could just admit that some seventh graders, especially the "leftover" seventh graders that play in my Catholic middle school "junior varsity" league, can, early in the season (we have a no press rule in place during the first half of the season), become confused during a throwin.
