FT Violation?

Nope, but I will allow a FT shooter to put a toe on the line once.

But that's just me......

I had this situation:

Two shots for A1. Before first shot AI is standing outside of the circle as I am ready to administer. I say "shooter, stay in the circle" and he more or less ignores me and takes the bounce pass with both feet on the line. I look at partner who gives me a kind of "so what" look back.

After first shot, A1 backs out of circle again and I tell him once again, "shooter, stay in the circle". He once again ignores me, so I bounce the ball to him and he gets the ball with both feet outside the circle. I blow the whistle and considered giving him the "T', but instead called the violation.

A1's coach understood fully what happened and every A player the rest of the night was in the circle and ready to get the ball. BTW, the B coach never asked what the call was.

Would you have given the "T"; I second guessed myself and my partner thought the violation call was sufficient.

No, the penalty is a violation.

The coach will do his job...and did.

Ask yourself this instead, what would the 'T' have been for?

by rule, 10-3 Art 5, section c. I didn't want to over officiate, but the shooter ignoring my direction was annoying.

I do not bounce until the shooter is in the circle. Tell him to get in the circle and if he refuses, then make clear that not complying could cause a technical foul.

Was A1 Larry Bird?

As usual, one warning per customer.

Well, that certainly doesn't make you a bad person.

Actually, Nevada has had such a great week that not much could rile him at this point.
