Where to bounce pass the ball....

[Rich]

....the other night. My partner bounced on the throw-in to start the quarter and I was thinking how silly it looked since there wasn't any pressure.

I base my bouncing decision on whether I think I need to be in a different place to supervise the players. If I like where handing the ball to the thrower-in puts me, I hand it.

Times change, though. Seems like just yesterday that the trail had to come in the lane to adminster ALL free throws.

What's next? Elimination of the bird dog?
