A deliberate act of a pass will be judged by me; and if it's a pass, and it then bounces OB, it is a violation for not being passed directly onto the court. If the throw-in is after a made or awarded basket, don't blow the whistle until it is touched inbounds. Before that, it could be a legal OB pass.

(An accidental roll to inbounds will have me reset everything.)

Remember that the game is played INbounds. The out-of-bounds cases are special cases.

Just make the call - that's why you get paid.
