I had a head coach of 25 years about lose his mind when I called this against his team. I will admit though that this is a rule I was not familiar with when I was playing and coaching.

Did he actually not know the rule after 25 years? I can't imagine he's good at what he does.

I'd assume he just didn't see his team touch the ball again and questioned your eyes.

That was the first thing I did was talk to him to make sure we were arguing the same set of facts. I told him I have a tip by the defense then a tip by your guy in the front court, and your guy first to touch in the back court. He said yes, but thought his guy needed to have possession. I explained that I was 100% sure my call was right and he disagreed. Play on. "I've been coaching 25 years and I've never heard of that!!"

Lovely. It's why I always have a dozen rule books. Coaches need them too.

Probably one of the most common lies we are told.
