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?

Well even though I did do a couple of varsity basketball my first year (Tony claims this does not happen), this happen during a few JH games. The next year it happen in a Freshman game I believe. But it was a rule I could quote word for word. Coaches did not have a clue and always wanted an explaination to why there was no warning. I had a veteran official tell me what I should do to prevent this from happening, and I cannot recall it happening since.

Of course you do, but this is a casebook ruling. And the casebook play deals with a delay warning, not the foul situation like stated in 10-3-12. If a defender causes a delay with 5 seconds or less in the game, this is a Technical as stated in the
Casebook 9.2.11 SITUATION. So what you describe has nothing to do with 10-3-12.
