With good reason. Many incompetent officials have instilled this misapprehension in them. When I was coaching, I taught the proper technique for a 'spot' throw-in only to be blindsided by an unwarranted whistle on more occasions than I can remember. Just one of the many motivations that got me into officiating 'inside the lines'!!!

We need to do a better job of training officials or at least encourage them to come to this board.....
