First Time: 9-2-6 violation

[Nevadaref]

For the first time in my many years of officiating I observed a violation of 9-2-6 take place in a game.

A1 is making a throw-in from the 28' mark in the frontcourt. She throws a lob pass which strikes the ring and rebounds over the heads of all other players back towards her. A1 stepped inbounds and caught the ball after it took one bounce in the court.

3-person crew: Trail froze, so I whistled it from Lead.

This violation can't be common. Made me wonder how many others have had it happen.
