Bleachers? I'm not venturing underneath them nor do I expect a player to make that trip either. Something for game management to handle.

Ball across the court on far sideline? Me: "22, please go get that ball." 22: "No sir, coach says we don't have to chase down balls for refs unless it was our fault" So #22 gets a T for this?
U.P. here, the players will get the ball 99.9% of the time. 0.07% will just not think and the remainder has a possibility of getting whacked.
I do not remember any partner asking a player to retrieve a ball. That just isn't a rule it's a an act of cooperation.

I've been under the bleachers, out in the hall and even outside when the doors are open. No, I don't like it, but I do it. But until there is a rule that tells someone to do it then I get the dang thing the 1 time out of a 1,000 that ball doesn't come back.

The thing that really bothers me is waiting on the sideline after a game while a partner retrieves the game ball that we don't need any longer ! Aaaaarrrrgh !!
