Secondly, you are only surmising whether the officials were in a hurry or not. I have seen officials give the ball to the player because they do not wait to make sure their partners are ready. I did not read anything that said why this happen other than the OPer did not know the rule. I was just giving a reason why this might have happen. I have no idea the motives and would not speculate on something like that just reading a play on the board. It does not matter if it is a kid's game or the state championship for high school. The bottom line is getting your kids out of the huddle and you will not have to worry about someone not being ready.

The coach's situation was NOT caused by his team coming out of time outs slowly. The situations were just normal designated spot throw-ins during the game. Official calls "Blue" and points to spot outside lane line. Blue players are scrambled in various positions in the front court when the ball went out of play. The Blue team inbounder got to the spot quicker than other Blue players got to their spots for the inbounds play. The official quickly handed the ball to the Blue team inbounder. By the time the Blue team players got to their positions, either 5-second calls or rushed passes were the result.
