Rolling the Ball Inbounds

Does that mean that you think that officials should ignore violations if they think that someone will complain about the call?

This is a question of semantics.

I'm not saying we ignore violations and please don't go putting words in my mouth. However, to call this, is simply asking for trouble.

Now if player is bouncing ball out of bounds, 2, 3 or 10 feet away, it's a different story.

If the kid is backing up against the wall, and the ball has to roll 1, 2, 3 feet to get inbounds.... different story.

I just don't see this ever happening in a game. Not in a situation in which it we'd have to call the violation.
