And it happened twice!

[Mark Padgett]

Girls HS rec game. Twice during the first half, we called a 10 second backcourt violation on the visiting team bringing the ball up following made baskets by the home team. What's so unusual about that? Both times, the home team had all their players run back into the frontcourt after the basket. There were really no defenders either time. The first time, it was mostly because the player dribbling the ball was talking to the coach and she stopped near the sideline to do that so I guess you could blame the coach. The second time, it just took their player that long to walk the ball up and no one from her bench yelled or said anything to her during it, so I guess you could blame the coach for that one, too.

I've had it happen a very few times previously over the years (and I do mean very few) but never twice in the same game, let alone twice in the same half.

Any of you guys have this happen, especially more than once?
