Do you make a call here?

That is the point Chuck. We have to assume that any dead ball shot is "practicing." Because under Rule 10 this is not specifically covered. If you want to say 10-3-7b applies which states, "Failing when in control, to immediately pass to the nearer official when a violation or foul is called," to me that would be a stretch. This is the only thing that might suggest that a T is warranted or that a rule has been violated.

And for those that keep saying I suggest that you would give a T, you need to look deeper in the comments I made. I do not think a rule has been directly violated here. So calling it or not is not the issue. I am saying there is no specific rule that covers this or suggest that a delay of any kind has taken place. So in order to call something, you have to suggest that a rule has been violated. I claim nothing has been done wrong either way. And if it has, this would have had to have been done several times for me to even consider taken any action. I might say something to the kid, but that does not mean I would seriously consider calling a T or not considering a T.

Again, this is a situation for the casebook. No such play, no call to make. It is that simple for me.
