Ruling?

Yes the ball was released already.


A's coach could not understand why we shot the FT's for bonus. She thought it should have been a throw-in at the nearest spot. I explained the Team control concept and she thought since they shot the ball, they were in possession.

Sounds like you had the right call then, and knew what to explain to the coach. Good job.

Moral of the story; don't let the coach's ignorance deter you from making the right call.

Good job.

I had a varsity coach testing me (I think) the other night. Throw-in for A under their basket, and A2 shoves B2 before the thrower releases the ball. I call the foul and we head the other way for 1-and-1.

On our way by, the A coach asks quietly, "that's not an offensive foul?"

"No team-control during a throw-in, coach." He nodded.
