disgruntled player

NFHS

After a timeout with team A trailing by 15 points late in the game, I am ready to hand the ball to A1 in the backcourt for a throw in. As I reach out to hand him the ball, he slaps it off my hand. It lands inbounds and slowly bounces to A2 about 15 feet inbounds who picks up the ball and the game proceeds. What would you do? Let it go? Make him redo the throw-in? Thoughts??

I wouldn't do anything. What provision of 7-6 did he violate?

If you felt he showed you up, you could T him up, but I would have to know more about the situation to think that would be justified.

[Refsmitty]

I would be tempted to whack him just for him trying to show me up

[tref]

I wouldn't make him redo the throw-in but perhaps a T is warranted depending on what has happened prior in the contest.

I bounce it to them in the b/c & when I do hand it off in the f/c, its rarely hand to hand. I generally stick it in their chest, unless its a girls game of course.

he just slapped the ball right? If he would have slapped my hand/arm while slapping the ball I'd have whacked him. But otherwise I would probrably just had a quiet word of warning with him.

Redo the throw-in and let the player know NOT to slap the ball out of your hands.

i've got nothing...(don't let your ego get in the way and cause you to "get him back for showing me up" and give him a T). it's not a big deal...

If he slaps my hand/arm, I'm tossing him. Every time. I have zero tolerance for something like that at the high school level.

Yep - thats what I meant. Even if it was "an accident"

This is a great point...if you bounce the ball he can't slap it or grab it...but you can't always bounce the ball.

at the risk of sounding like an idiot, why is this? some of the guys in our pool bounce it no matter where they are.

FC endline throw-ins, hand the ball to the thrower. I'm not aware of any area or mechanics/rules set that allows for bounces on this play.

.....I thought it had to do with my signature.

Unless the player hits me, I've got nothing. I presented the ball to him for a throwin and he made a throwin.
