The scorekeeper tells him it a violation and then he gets upset.

Yes, it was 2-man.

Well, in 2-man it is usually the Trail's call to make, but it's one of those that either can call if we see it.

Don't worry about the coach not knowing the rules. All you can do is give a quick explanation.

Finally, for clarification: was this a throw-in pass that A catches, or was the throw-in complete and they now had team control? If it's the former, then it is no longer a violation.

I know about the coach. It was just funny that he thought we shouldn't have called it even though it's a violation simply because "No one ever calls that".

It was not a throw-in, hence the reason I said in the OP that the throw-in was completed.

The point is, in transition, it's absolutely leads call during a press; that's why you're positioned that way. Well, it's part of it. I've made this call from C during a press. A2 caught the pass standing in the front court, stepped backwards to start his momentum and crossed the line.

I can tell you with certainty the coaches around here would wonder why it wasn't called. I feel lucky.
