disgruntled player

Redo the throw-in and let the player know NOT to slap the ball out of your hands.

i've got nothing...(don't let your ego get in the way and cause you to "get him back for showing me up" and give him a T). it's not a big deal...

[JugglingReferee]

No T. But definitely say something to him. Mentions one of his positives, such as good ball control

What? Not me, we are doing something here. Maybe not a T, HTBT play, but you can't let the player think this is ok to act or behave like this.

Why is it when some talk about stopping unsporting behavior there are officials and coaches who accuse them of letting their egos get in the way?

Because those officials see themselves as having great "game management skills" and then brag about how they haven't called in T in umpteen years...meanwhile, the coaches and players know they can get away with just about anything when official XXX shows up.

Doesn't the throw-in have to be "controlled" (for the lack of a better word, I know there's no player/team control on a throw-in) by the thrower-in?

In my sophomore season, I bounce-passed the ball to thrower-in A1. She bobbled it, and it went right to A2, her intended target and the only player within 35 feet. I let it go, but I was told later that was wrong.

Got a rule reference?

I don't. I'm not sure the book says something either way. It was just a vet's advice.

It's not a requirement. How many times, when the official bounces it to the thrower, have you seen a player tap the ball inbounds without grabbing it?

My favorite (and I may have mentioned it here before). Official near halfcourt ready to administer throw in with A1 OOB. (A1 and A2 only players in the area.)

Mr. Official, instead of tossing ball to A1 for throw in, bounce passes in bounds to A2.
