In a 7th grade girls club type game Team A is running an inbounds play under their basket. 4 girls line up along the free throw line, one steps back, and they lob the ball over the other three to her. While this is happening the other 3 girls interlock their arms. Illegal use of arms 4-24-9. Now is it just a violation or do you call a foul and on which one? I just called it a violation and told the coach as I passed him not to run that play again, ever.

At 7th grade girls, you should warn the team the first time they try it, and then penalize after that. These coaches don't know the rules, and it seems a little harsh to just whack them. A violation is a great warning, altough it's totally not within the rule book, you manage to control the game within the spirit and intent of the rules. Considering you didn't know the details, I'd say you did very well. And coming here to get the skinny was a great move!
