Odd Situation - Very Funny as well
 

Well, I had my first NCCA-W game on Saturday and it was crazy from the start. The visiting team only had 5 players and about 5 minutes into the game, one of the 5 is injured and has to leave the court. So the team continues on with 4 players for the rest of the game. Then, with about 20 seconds left in the game, the losing coach tells the guard to hold the ball and the guard was at the top of the key. She keep asking the coach if she can just launch a last second shot. He says "hold the ball." So, while this dialogue is going back and forth between them, she is moving towards the backcourt. Then I look up and she is dribbling in the back court!!!!! OMG!!!!! Thats back court....tweet!!!!! It caught me totally off guard and my buddies in the stands were laughing like crazy, not to mention both coaches as well as the players. There was about a 2 second delay between her being in the backcourt and my whistle.....so the other team gets the ball back, and they hold it for 2 seconds...end of game.:D

That's kinda like a QB wanting to spike the ball...... on 4th down.

Or a bit like a defender trying to clear the puck or the soccer ball...... and earning the dreaded own-goal.

Which happened last night on a delayed penalty, of all things!!

So the penalty is still enforced, I believe. The only way for that guy to redeem himself is to score the PPG. :)
