Making them stand still on a throw in?

[refnrev]

Partner last night I've never seen before. I thought it might be an interesting night when I saw the Byron collared shirt and long white lanyard. He's been out of officiaiting for awhile and only works as a sub when someone can't show. I noticed that on throw ins when the girls would line up in a straight line formation he made them all get set and told them not to move before he would give the thrower the ball. The coaches looked confused, too, but never asked me about it. Did this used to be a rule in years gone by? I've never seen this before. The game was such a blow out I didn't bother to ask afterwards. I was just ready to call it a night.

If any player in the line moves prior to the snap of the ball, then it is a false start penalty. The team will be moved back downcourt five 5 yards.

There's never been a rule like that afaik.

I knew it would be interesting when in his pre-game he said to the coaches, we have no rule changes this year. So at the half would you stop and ask him what he's doing and let him know this isn't a rule or would you just let it go? I was actually so frustrated by a bunch of other stuff that he was doing that need not be mentioned that I had actually switched into the get in, "git 'er done", shake hands, and get out mode. I think that he, on the other hand was having a great time.

Probably the best thing to do. No need to agrue about something like this, considering he just subs. It's likely if the official hasn't got the memos yet regarding the rule changes, speaking to him probably won't do much good.

He didn't toss up a jump at the free throw circle instead of using the arrow, did he?

or stop the game after a basket and take the ball to the center circle!
