We've done our part, let the league admins sort out this mess.

I guess I was trying to determine what rule allows you to re-do the throw-in.

If it's 2-3, then I think 2-3 could apply with going right to OT.

I do like the idea of the league figuring it out.

Can't one issue double team technicals for 'Actionless Contest'?

Resume play at the POI, the throw-in?

I don't see why not. Although, I would want to give a warning first. And if you're going T both teams, obviously you need to warn both teams.

You could. But, as you said, you are basically right back to where you started. What if they do it again? Are you going to call a double technical again?

[Back In The Saddle]

We're really getting into the realm of "don't want to go there" at this point. But "if a team refuses to play after being instructed to do so by any official"...

Like I said, nobody wants to go there.

Just a thought:

There seemed to be an interpetation years ago where Team B deflected the ball away from Team A and it ended up in the back court where neither team goes after it. The ruling was that the 10 second count would begin and after reaching 10, Team A has committed a violation.

So could one start a 10 second count in this situation?

You can start a 10 second count in the interp because there's still team control. In fact, a 10 second count should start. If, however, it's a rebounded try that ends up bouncing forever in the BC, there would be no 10 second count.

On the throwin scenario, you cannot start a 10 second count until TC has been established.
