Can't say "Never saw that" again

Ah...such a lovely teaching moment.

How long had she actually taken?

Partner said he was actually at a slightly slow 12 (looked like she was going to shoot when he was a 9 but it was a "pump fake"). Said he blew because if someone on the other bench was counting with his visible count it would be worse.

I'd probably fall asleep if a shooter actually took 10 seconds!

Had a partner call that once. The coach yelled "That wasn't 10 seconds even in dog years."

I cracked up.

Never seen that one called.

I called a violation after the inbounds pass for the first time ever last week. A1 inbounded the ball from the end line, then took 5-6 steps laterally, still out of bounds across the end line before coming inbounds. First time I've seen it called, much less called it myself. Then had the same thing in my very next game.

There is a reason that you don't see that called.
The reason is that this is not a violation. It's a technical foul.
You kicked the rule.

So you're correct. 10-3-2. Thanks.

I strongly wish they'd change this one to a violation. It really doesn't seem any different than a player leaving the court without authorization. Much like the swinging elbows, more officials would be willing to call it if it were a violation. The infraction isn't severe enough to rise to the level of a T.
