1 and 1 flop

[rgaudreau]

Okay, so here's what happened at yesterday's game. I'm a rookie and I think I called it incorrectly, but at the time, it seemed like the right thing to do. AFter thinking about it since then, I probably would have done things differently.

Girls Juvenile game (13-14 years old)
A1 is up shooting a bonus 1 and 1. shot is taken, hits the rim. A2 catches the ball and just stands there with it. None of the girls are moving and don't seem to realize that it's now live ball. A2 throws the ball at Lead who is standing OOB at baseline and Lead (another rookie) catches it. Lead drops the ball (inbounds) expecting play to continue. I tweet. Here's the call that I made. SInce none of the teams made and attempt to play the ball, I went to alternating possesion arrow.

But now, in hindsight, here's what I would have done. AFter the ball was thrown by A1 to lead who was OOB, it should have been dead ball, thrown OOB by A1 - B's ball at the baseline.

So, I know I blew the initial call, but I think that my hindsight would be correct. Man, so many rules to this game! Your comments are welcome...

P.S. It's nice to have a place like this to come and read all of these scenarios. The discussions here are always great. It's never done in a condescending way. We are all trying to become better at something we all love to do.
