W&S, Chuck:
How about a little advice then. I coach in a competitive 5th grade league. We get the same 2 officials every game. Whenever our opponent makes a basket (FG), they make my inbounder give them the ball, they wait 3-5 seconds and pass the ball back to my inbounder. Kills us on a pressing team because they set their defense. Ocassionally, they'll even tell one of the opponents to check their tied shoe laces.
When we make a basket, they do not require the same of our opponent. I've got 2 assistant coaches who constantly complain about calls and I suspect they have at some point angered the officials.
What should/can I do regarding the inbounds AND to attempt to smoooth over anything that may have happened in the past?

I was under the impression that when a basket was made by your opponent that your inbounder could immediately retrieve the ball and inbound it without the official having to hand it to your inbounder.
Thanks

Your impression is correct. However, if said basket is a free throw, and there is a sub waiting at the table to check in, the official should promptly sound the whistle and allow the sub to enter. In this instance, the official would handle the ball during hte substitution, but once he administers the throw in, the thrower may still run the baseline.
