Inadvertent whistle on over and back

[BillyMac]

Inadvertent whistle while team has team control: That team gets the ball for a throwin nearest the location of the ball at the time of the whistle.

Inadvertent whistle while neither team has team control: Alternating possession arrow and throwin nearest the location of the ball at the time of the whistle.

Billy Mac, if it's not rocket science, then tell us what the ruling would have been if there had been an interrupted dribble and an inadvertent whistle.

This is easy, because I actually had this in a game Saturday, and I posted a question about it on the Forum. There is still team control, but not player control, during an interrupted dribble. That's why we can call a three second violation during an interrupted dribble.

Note: The rocket science title was not meant to be mean spirited, I just wanted to convey that inadvertent whistles are usually very easy to remedy. Should I go back and change the title? It does seem little harsh, especially coming from me.

No, I was just yanking your chain because the original play was not unlike your play. I found your reply amusing considering your previous thread.

Wouldn't it be easier to remember that IW is always POI?

Good reponses.

I'm just thrilled that a coach knew the rule.

I'd think so, but given all the questions on "Is it POI or is it the arrow?" that we get, my guess is that this would just further complicate it for some members.

I was helping out last night with a pair of girls junior high games. In the 7th grade game, the home team was down 25 points in the 4th quarter. A girl for the home team, whom I'm guessing probably doesn't see alot of playing time normally was in the game. She grabbed a rebound from a shot missed by one of her teammates, and all proud of herself proceed to start dribbling down the floor - yes towards the wrong basket. For a fleeting moment, the thought did go through my mind to blow an "inadvertent" whistle to prevent the backcourt violation, but I didn't.

Perhaps we need a POI sticky.
