Inbounds hand off rules

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.

This is the inbounding team's problem, then. I'll make sure the defense is in position if the teams are out or coming out, but once someone is in position to receive the ball, I'm blowing the whistle and handing or bouncing it to the thrower-in.
