Case 7.5.1C.

Tangent. How long will you wait to give the ball to either a player attempting free throwers or a throw-in? I often see multiple subs coming in.

During subs? I don't normally have to wait long. If it's a gaggle coming in, I'll give them an extra few seconds to get oriented. I've never had to put the ball down, but I will give the thrower the ball just as the defenders are getting into place.

Did anyone else think this was the second part of this thread League Commissioner is All Up In Our Grill that the OP was leaving out?

Instant classic quote from the league commissioner:

Shand noted that while his program does background checks on coaches, officials and others, "the only people we can't do background checks on are the parents."

Depends on the age group. For 6th graders, it's a Lollygag.

Hope this guy

1) gets a conviction on assault with all necessary fines, probation, or jail

2) finds a good torts attorney. He need to prove the intentional tort and can get damages including punitive damages. This guy wont have the money after the punitive dmages to sign his kid up for recreational hop scotch because heis compensating the guy for his medical issues and to be punished for this stupidity

Update:
Man charged with assault at Burnsville basketball game | StarTribune.com

He's been charged with one count of first-degree assault and third-degree assault, which are felonies; interfering with a 911 call, which is a gross misdemeanor; and also disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor, Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom said Friday.

Good for the county attorney.

The attacker will most likely just declare bankruptcy and spend 7 years or so in credit purgatory. If he has a job, they could always get a judgement and garnish his wages.
The AC should have insurance that would cover an incident like this.
