Resumption of play procedure.

[Sharpshooternes]

Had a sitch last week for my second game of the season with partner (his very first game). Sophomore mens game. Teams were both slow coming out of timeout huddles. I gave them both a few seconds extra warning, sounded the whistle loudly and called "White, ball in!!" then proceeded to place ball on the ground. They made it over fast enough and got the ball in to play. Starting the 4th period, I am on endline partner at midcourt ready to give ball to player to inbound. Both horns have sounded, teams warned, whistle by partner who gives ball to inbounding team who was ready, defense was still in huddle. Offense gets easy bucket.

After the game, evaluator says that partner should not have given ball to inbounding team but should have warned team and issued an official DOG in the book. From what I can tell, we followed the rule properly and the DOG warning isn't issueable in this situation. Granted there were a few things we could have done better, including reminding coaches to be ready to play on second horn and being better with vocalizing to the teams that ball is being put into play. Partner was a bit timid about this.

Thoughts and thanks in advance.
