Assuming you meant 8-1-2, I don't know about you, but I don't use RPP every time we have a free throw.

I did put the ball down for a throwin the other day in a JVG game, but they released the throwin at about 4.

Yep 8-1-2. Thumb got in the way...Sorry for the confusion. I was written up on this point in by a state evaluator in Tennessee and have taken it to heart.

8-1-2 is resumption of play. If your state evaluator wants you to do it that way, fine. But 8-1-2 is not a valid reference to nail someone on this.

How about the citation that I pointed out in the NFHS Officials Manual?

That one works; but it's still a Rome thing; and I revert to my previous post (#9) on the topic.

I also have NEVER seen this done and just thinking about it makes me cringe. I've worked NFHS for 12 years and college for 6 and have never seen this done.

I've gotten probably 50 "observations" over the years and that has never been mentioned. I agree though, when in Rome. If your observer wants it done, I say blow the whistle.
