It was 2-man and I was the trail on the free throw. Partner was waiting to bounce here the ball but she refused to step all the way in the circle. So Lead finally bounces her the ball and as soon as she caught it I hit my whistle and called the violation.

You could (by rule, should) have had a T first.

I had a weird one last week where the FT shooter ran to the coach on the far end of the court (first half) while everyone else was lining up and my P was reporting. We were ready to shoot but she was still talking with the coach maybe 3 or 4 seconds and then she sprinted to the circle and away we went. It took me about that long to figure out what was going on. I think a talking to would be sufficient in this instance. In this instance resumption of play would not be appropriate because it did not follow a timeout.

I have had to on two different occasions players not getting into the circle properly. I just do not get why this is hard to do?
