JR, I don't follow your reasoning here if the ref has both feet oob. Why would it be illegal for the ball to touch the ref? Then when the ball goes inbounds...

I see, so it's illegal for the ball to go inbounds after it bounces oob?

In situ (I heard that on the radio the other day, cool, eh?), I'd have let it go and A would get their basket.

But I see your point.
