Delay of Game Situation / Ruling

I still contend there is not enough info for a T

Throwing the ball 12-14 rows into the stands fits 10-3-5-a perfectly. An act this egregious should not simply result in a delay of game warning, especially when that is the intent of the offending team and they would be gaining an advantage by doing so.

I agree 100%.
In my head, due to the wording "12-14 rows up near the bleachers" B just through the ball away, not into the bleachers.

I'd consider an ejection for USC on the part of the HC in this case as well. This is very close to flagrant behavior to me.



I'm sure that's a minority of one opinion, but I think if this happened as the poster said it did, how can you not at least think about it?

Ejection? Really?!

What could be gained by doing this on purpose???

And on the HC???? I've got nothing on the HC, not even basic T.

I agree. Assess the technical against the offending player and move on.

Here's why:

1. I thought the kid threw the ball 12-14 rows up into the stands like so many others.
2. If the Assistant Coach is telling you this before the play there is intent involved, and it's not the AC who is saying throw the ball into the stands to get a DOG, it's the HC.
3. In my judgment the act of throwing a ball that deep in the stands is a serious case of USC. If the kid in a fit of anger launches the ball that far into the stands are you just going ignore it? You can get a DOG or even DOG T in a much better and more sporting manner (if you can somehow use that term to talk about it. I can't).
4. Add 2+3 together, and I still think you have to think about it, if not a flagrant T on the HC, maybe a flagrant T on the player.

I probably wouldn't do it, but I would consider it

I was too focussed on "12-14 rows" to notice the grammar error.

What's the difference?

B gets ball under the basket and throws it off to the side of the court and it bumps the bottom row of bleachers. I believe that to be about the distance of 12-14 rows up near the bleachers.

The moral of the story is the OP was written poorly and therefore know one really knows how and where the ball was thrown.

I guess, but I would have expected an estimate in feet rather than rows if that were the case.

No way. They use the metric system in North Carolina. Want to buy a few liters of moonshine?
