The dribbler was good enough to play through the contact, kept the dribble, and circled around the screen and continued down the floor.

(Um, the screener happened to be the official on that side of the floor who had a brain fart and was not moving fast enought to become the new L.

This happened to my partner (thankfully, not to me!) in a college game this past weekend. Only difference is that it was not a throw-in, it was a defensive steal. B2 read the pass perfectly, tipped the ball toward his own basket, took two steps to chase it down, and ran smack into my 6'4"/250 partner who was the Trail (I was Center). A1 calmly retreats to his backcourt and recovers the ball.
