thanks for the confirmation. the only thing I second-guessed myself on was whether to call a T for the slap. In my case, it was hard to determine whether he was slapping for show or truly making a concerted effort to block the shot. At what point would you call a T on this type of play?

I called it once when it was so obvious that everyone in the gym knew there was no play on the ball. It was just showboating. (That wasn't a 6th grade girls' game!) From what I've seen around here, it doesn't get called if there's any chance at all it was part of a play. It has to be pretty egregious to get the T.
