Stick, Im not from Michigan, but I think you are confusing a team control foul for an off the ball foul. Check into it.

Your right, I blew it!!! They should have shot bonus. Damn, I hate when that happens.

About 3 weeks ago I was doing a boys jv game. Team A scores a basket which puts them down 3 with less than 30 seconds left. My partner (we were doing a 2-man) is on the baseline and blows his whistle. I go to switch spots with him watching him and waiting to hear what the call is. He doesn't say anything to anyone and runs down to the other end!! I have both coaches screaming at me wanting to know what the call was and I couldn't answer them!! So I motion my partner to come over to explain his call. He said a player on team A grabbed the arm of a player on team B trying to get open for the inbounds pass. Then he ran back down to the other end!! So I got both coaches together and explained the call and that there is no bonus (away from the ball foul) and both were cool with it. After the game I told my partner in a nice way that he should have explained the call, not me. He admitted had a brain fart but for that night I gave him the benefit of the doubt since he's a second year official. Upon reflection perhaps I should have let him explain everything. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks

He called a foul and didn't report it to the table? Huh? No bonus on a foul away from the ball? Huh?

It's a new rule in Michigan. An off the ball foul (moving screen, etc.) the other team takes it out of bounds instead of shooting bonus. Like I said my partner had a brain fart so I reported the foul, explained to the coaches, and did the ensuing throw-in.

No it's not. If it is a new Michigan rule, it's strictly a local rule and not one certified by the MHSAA for high school ball. Someone is simply mis-interpreting the new team control foul rule, methinks. There is no team control during a throw-in.

If I were you, I'd find a rules interpreter in your area and go over that one with him.

Your right!! I hate admitting when I'm wrong--lol Thanks for the info

Don't worry, I'm wrong all the time, I don't know everything, and I definately don't quote passages out of the rules book like bible scripture either. But I like your attitude. It's what makes a good official.
