How do you call this

End line throwin, different animal and this play is always possible.

I also agree with Scratch, this is the on-ball official's call every time. C shouldn't be making this.

It wasn't a violation. No official should have made this call. 😉

😠 With all due respect, shut up.

So I hope millions of officials see this post and never call it again.

Don't hold your breath haha.

I hope this wasn't called during a crucial point in the game. I would have been all over your C if I was the coach of the team who just lost the throw-in.

I have to ask, Scratch. Why did your partner think it was a violation? Does he think hitting the anywhere on the BB is a violation on a throwin? Or did he somehow judge the ball to have hit the back?

He judged it to have hit the back. At least upon questioning, that is what he said.

He must have a hard time playing pool.

At the risk of sounding facetious, your partner wasn't Old School by any chance? Well, I guess there was very little risk.😃

The conversation bordered on ridiculous. That is why it ended like it did. I wasn't getting anywhere using angles and physics. 🙁

Hey, I said, "With all due respect."

I think we all know just how much respect is due. Don't mind me. I'm just going to find a quiet corner to curl up in while I cry.

I've got my new slide rule ready if you need any help.

So where did you inbound the ball for the ensuing throw-in?

BTW you would likely be a fan of what I would have done in your shoes. It involves making the C eat his whistle. 😀

Literally or metaphorically? Or both? 😀

We inbounded under the basket.

C was bigger than me (I'm 6', 190# and one fit SOB) but dumber. Maybe I could have talked him into eating his whistle. It wouldn't have involved any of that fancy angularity. 😀

I would have simply said, "Nope, that's not the rule. You have an inadvertent whistle. White ball right here (at the POI)."
If he didn't like it, too bad. It wasn't his decision to make in the first place.
