3 person crew in a 5a girls game in Texas......


We are about halfway through the third period and one team is starting to kill the other. After a made basket, team A refuses to throw the ball in after it has settled under the basket. My partner waits a few seconds, and begins his 5 second count. After reaching the 5 second count, the coach for team A goes ballistic saying that he has a "designated free thrower" and we need to wait for her to inbound the ball.

I told him that my co-official didn't know that, and all that we saw was 4 of his girls refusing to pick up the ball and inbound it, and we gave you plenty of time to get the ball and inbound it.
He says that he can take all the time he needed since the count isn't supposed to start until the ball is at the disposal of his thrower-in which in his mind wasn't until his player picked up the ball.
Okay, was my co-official correct in calling 5 seconds? or should we have gone with a delay of game warning first? Just wanted some feedback....
