You use 3 person crews in 9 and under rec leagues in Texas?!?!?!

Seriously, if you have given the “team” a short amount of time to get to the ball than you should/must start the count. First, there is no provision in NFHS rules for a coach-designated thrower. More than that, it could well be a designed delay to give team A an advantage in trying to break B’s press. Coach A could drill his players in that if they see a full court press developing on a inbounds play that they are not to pickup the ball until help arrives/comes back from the front court.

If you do not start the start the count you negate B’s good defensive effort.
