Odd ball plays!

Wyoming, I can't argue with that. But you'll have to ask the player's partner why she didn't tell her teammate that the ball went in the basket. She's not my partner.

It probably was an honest mistake but so is not stepping completely OOB, stepping inbounds before releasing the ball, and throwing it in to a teammate who then steps OOB and throws it back in. And those are violations as well, even though they're honest mistakes.

There can't be a case play that's exactly like everything you'll ever see on the floor. But the same rule, intent and principle apply. Like JR said, whether we like it or not, it's a violation.
