When a T hurts the official

We had a qualifier game this weekend, game is tight and we are down a couple. We always, and I mean ALWAYS, break on a made shot (even if my rivals read this, they should know it by now!). We practice the three step move OOB and try to inbound between the hash mark and half court if they allow it, with the next pass into the front court and we are on offense.

Opponent makes shot, one of their players grabs the ball and holds it a bit while her team gets back, then tosses it OOB for our player to get. Ref blows whistle and warns her and warns the bench saying next one is a T. Very next possession, same girl does same thing (playing defense would have helped I will admit!). Ref blows whistle and says last warning coach.

You have to make these calls or the game is fundamentally altered.

How old are these girls? Did the "delay of gamer" look like she was lost?

I agree. If you give the "next time" warning, you gotta follow through.
