Some input, so I can enjoy my Thanksgiving

Nit-picky thing that will bother me, so here goes.

Double digit mismatch the whole game, team ahead has all their young guys in.

Team getting beat hits a shot and kid gathers the ball about 4 feet inbounds and is clearly waiting for the kid that is supposed to inbound the ball. Wait, wait, so okay I'm starting my 5 second count...remember this is the team way ahead with just a few minutes left...I hit 2 on my count as the intended thrower gets there and gets a pass directly into his feet, and the ball goes to the wall a good 15 feet away.

Instinctively I suspended my count until the kid retrieved the ball and picked it back up at 3.

The pass comes in before a 5 count and the other team fouls, and I hear it from the coach.

I tell him I could not penalize a kid when the ball got away like that, and he...correctly...pointed out the other player's delay.

All I could say was, "I heard you coach and you are right."

My partner said he'd have done the same thing in that situation, but I'd like other opinions.

Serious T-day indigestion is at stake.
