Boy's 9th grade. Good competitive game, well coached disciplined teams playing hard.

While running out on a fast break I was trailing and observed the coach reach down and assist one of his players whom had effectivly tripped himself without contact back to his feet.

It all happened very fast and I know the kid was embarassed. He was well away from the play and I focused back on game action and made no call.

My partner did not see anything as we discussed it later.

Comment on this: Technical?, coach/non-participant touching player thats both in and out of bounds. In the rule book?

I got nothing. No rule against being nice. I was very glad to see that this post was about something so innocent. Based on the title of your post, I was expecting to read something more along the lines of Mary K. Latourneau.
