So Easy, Even a Caveman Can Do ...

Wow. Imagine that, a varsity high school player being confused on a throwin, and getting a do-over, i.e. not being charged with a technical foul. Even a seventh grader can understand throwin rules without be confused, and needing a do-over. Stupid NFHS.

10.1.8 SITUATION: Immediately following a goal or free throw by Team A, A1
inbounds the ball to A2 and A2 subsequently throws the ball through A’s basket.
RULING: The following procedure has been adopted to handle this specific situation
if it is recognized before the opponents gain control or before the next
throw-in begins: (a) charge Team A with an unsporting technical foul; (b) assess
a delay-of-game warning for interfering with the ball after a goal; (c) cancel the
field goal; (d) cancel any common foul(s) committed and any non-flagrant foul
against A2 in the act of shooting; and (e) put “consumed” time back on the clock.
COMMENT: If there is no doubt the throw-in was a result of confusion, the entire
procedure would be followed except no unsporting team technical foul would be
charged. A team technical would be assessed if the team had received a previous
delay warning. This procedure shall not be used in any other throw-in situation in
which an official administers the throw-in and a mistake allows the wrong team
to inbound the ball. (4-47-3; 7-6-6; 10-1-5d)

I fully realize that this casebook play is only for a very specific situation, but I'm just thinking out loud: high school age, throwin, confusion, do-over. Imagine the NFHS suggesting some type of do-over for a confused high school age player during a throwin? Stupid NFHS. Players, especially high school players, and even seventh grade players, never get confused, and require do-overs, on throwins. Never. Ever.
