Question

6th Graders trying to look cool. They wanted to "roll" the ball to mid court to keep the clock off.

Problem was the "thrower-iner" set the ball on the ground and rolled it - flat- across the baseline - into play and towards mid court. I called illegal - warned and then blew whistle next time. Coach went off - he taught the play to the kids.

After a time-out coach reengineered the play. He'd have the kid reach inbounds and set the ball on the floor - IN PLAY - to begin the roll. Yep, I whistled them and called them out of bounds. Player was out of bounds touching a ball on the court.

Where' s all this in rule book?

All this is in Rule 9-2.

You got it right. To be legal, he needs to relase the ball before it touches inbounds.

Seems like this coach should get some kind of award.
Right, or wrong, he was really thinking and really trying!

If I had a nickel for each time I watched a 6th grader roll
the ball in to keep the clock from starting I would have a
big pile of nickels. Never saw it done illegally, maybe
I just wasn't paying close enough attention?

I've seen just as bad - rolling the ball...with the clock running!
