If I actually see that in a game higher than 8th grade. I suppose I oughta call the violation.
But I sure do not expect to see it, ... ever.

Funny...I actually thought the same thing about a sitch I saw in the illustrated rule book a couple of weeks ago. The one about how on a throw in by Team A, if a player from Team A catches the throw-in pass while the ball is still on the out-of-bounds side of the throw-in boundary plane, it’s a violation.

I saw that play in the illustrated book and scoffed, thinking “when am I ever going to see that happen?”

Turns out it was the same night. Happened in a wreck league game I was working, and because I was so flustered thinking about it, I missed the call. Not that anyone noticed.

Anyway, just goes to show you never know what you’re gonna see out there. Might as well be prepared for anything.

You certainly never know, that is for sure!

The call is a violation according to 9.1.1, exact case book play. If they have another shot, shoot it, if not give the other team the ball for the violation!

Seriously, you don't think you would ever see it. I have seen it even at the college level. With all the fancy ways these kids like to dribble around their back and whatever else they can come up with, it happens quite a bit!
