1. Ten second rule states "A player shall not be, nor may his/her team be, in continuous control of a ball which is in his/her backcourt for 10 seconds." If Team A is bringing ball up against pressure, and 7-8 seconds have elapse, Team A calls time out. When play resumes, does team A get a new 10 seconds since there is no control on throw-in?
2. This weekend we were playing (6th grade level) and T was called on the other team. I picked a player from my bench to shoot these (he reported properly) since there is a wide discrepancy in shooting ability at this age. Both officials said I could not do this, they must be shot by a player who is in the game. I believe rule clearly states any player can shoot the T, even an entering sub. Am I correct in this. And if so, is there a "correct" or "Tactful" way I can convey this to the officials before the shots are taken. I had my rule book in my pocket as I always do. Or must I wait until the game is over and talk to them?
