POI rule

[jritchie]

funniest thing i've ever seen!!! Boys varsity tip off classic, 1st game of 2, i had the 2nd game so i was there watching the 1st...

A1 has ball at top of key, A2 and B2 fighting for position in the post, got a little out of hand, Double Foul called on them! Veteran official says A's Ball at POI, so he was the trail and bounced the ball to team A where he was standing at the top of the circle and said "play ball"....i was rolling off the bleachers, the kid just looked at him for a second and just took off towards the basket dribbling. Couldn't believe what i was seeing, now that is taking POI literally!!

I told him at halftime, i wouldn't of said anything if he would of made Team A check the ball before he started dribbling!
