Didn't happen to me, but to two or three of our younger association officials in junior high games they were doing last season. A couple of coaches must have strategized late at the pub one night, "I know, let's tell our thrower inner not to come onto the court until we yell 'NOW!'" Sure enough. About four or five seconds after the throw in was completed, the coach would yell "NOW!" and the by-then-unguarded guy would step in right under the basket for an easy shot.
After the solution to the malady was brought up in a rules meeting, one or two T's were dished out. Followed, of course, by manifest protest by said coaches, to no avail of course.
The problem stopped.
