Bounce the ball to player for throw in?

Yeah, I understood that. He also said that there is no advantage gained by bouncing the ball to a thrower on the end line in backcourt and that is incorrect.

These are the people that assign us playoff games and dictate our status as officials.

understood that too

The IHSA told us not to bounce the ball EVER ON THE BASELINE, because officials were more likely to cheat up the court.

So why don't they just tell you to not cheat up the court rather than to not bounce the ball? Correct the bad habits rather than eliminating a useful mechanic.

This came from the Head IHSA Basketball Clinician himself and is taught by the other IHSA Clinicians in basketball. As I have told you before, we have directives that are not in a 100% agreement with the NF.

It must be a bummer to work in a state whose interpreter's think they know more than their bosses, the heads of NFHS.
