Junior High girls' ball

[mick]

I'm Trail.
A1 in front court gets ball batted away by B1.
Ball bounced in FC near division line.
A2 gets to FC ball with a batt, ball bounces in back court and A2 picks it up.
Fox blows O/B.
I give the spot and head the other way passing Bench A.
Coach A: "What? it was tipped!
I quickly explain to Coach A about team conrol. She didn't understand but nodded.

Well into Front court, waiting for throw-in, my young partner walked 30 feet.
He said: "It was tipped!"
I said "I know. B ball."
Gym was dead silent. Players were waiting.
Partner said: "But, it was tipped!"
I said : "We're not gonna talk about it. Throw it in."

I turn to Coach A. (She's coaching her second game, 4 timeouts in the book.)
I turn back to see partner bouncing ball to A1. (B1 had bounced "scored" ball to partner.)
A1 studies clock [Tick, tick, tick]
Throw-in.
