Spot throw in

[Danvrapp]

I always verbally inform the player they have a spot, simply by handing the ball and saying "Spot." I always thought this was one of those silly things officials do, but for the first time in my four year career, I actually had a player try to run the line during a spot throw-in this past weekend.

Whistle.

Violation.

No complaints - the player heard me yell it.
