No big deal, just a kicked call by a college intramural "official". My son was trapped, with the ball, in the middle of a double team, and a boundary. He intentionally threw the ball off of a defender's leg, with the ball going out of bounds, and the official awarded the ball to the other team. My son only played basketball through middle school, is not a basketball rule expert by any stretch of the imagination, and wanted me to clarify the rule for him. I told him that these "officials" were probably getting minimum wage as part of their financial aid package, and to leave them alone, especially since my son is getting a full ride. It's only a coed, recreational, intramural league. He's on the Sociology Department Team. Some of the girls on his team never even played any type of competitive basketball before. My money says they go winless.
