Inadvertant Horn - Bus Tossing Rant

Edited to add: If the coach needed to rant at anyone, it should have been the time keeper or the timing mechanism.

Just curious. How is this right? From the description, the ball was in flight during an inbound pass. No team-control at this point. When the horn went off, I was thinking that it should have gone to the arrow since A did not have possession of the ball.

I'd like a rule reference for this please.

EDIT: forget what I said... I just realize the horn doesn't necessarily stop play.

No, you still don't understand the POI rule. If play is stopped DURING a throw-in, by a premature period ending horn due to a timing mistake or an official sounding the whistle, then play is resumed with that throw-in.

Even though there is no team control during this time, this is NOT an AP arrow situation.

Now why won't you take the advice of those who have told you to look this stuff up before you post? If you don't wish to do that, the least that you could do is read more and write less. You just keep posting incorrect rulings and we have to correct them.
