I do not think I have had to make this call since my second year.

Interesting... I think I have seen a defender touch the ball that was in an inbounder's hands only twice in my entire officiating career. Were you officiating a league for the sighted impaired? :-) What was your preventative officiating? - to remind the defense to not break the plane on each throw-in?
.......and BTW, when there are 2 seconds left in the game and something strange happens that you can not ignore, you darn well better know the rules inside and out.
