I know you well enough to know this is true, and I wouldn't either. Some would due to the increased penalty, just like the elbow violation was never called.

+1

How many of you called the excessive elbow swinging when it was T? Now how many of you have called it since it was changed to a violation?

I'm not saying it's wrong or right, I'm just saying that I'm guessing a lot more officials are inclined to call it since the penalty was changed.

The same would happen if they make delay in returning to the court after a throw-in a violation instead of a T.

I haven't seen either happen yet in my short career. I'd call either if I did.

I've had it happen once in 12 years.

Middle school game, I'm the L on the end line. Kid inbounds the ball, pauses for 1 second then runs the entire length of the end line and enters the court at the 3 point line where he receives the ball. As soon as he touches I hit the whistle and call the T.

Coach was livid and I can only assume they drew the play up this way.

Coach refused to believe the penalty was a T and didn't want to let it go after the game.
