Do you know what a plumber is?

A plumber is a person who goes looking for $hit.

Don't be a plumber.

What if a team throws the ball into the air, bench people starts running in, the opposing team goes & steal the ball and goes for the basket, how would you call it?

Since usually opposing coaches wouldn't just agree it prior walking into the court, people just walk in as an act of being "mutual".

You do not comprehend very well I see. What in the heck do you think? You really have to ask?

Peace

I think your mission is to think up every off-the-wall, ridiculous situation and ask us what we would call. :rolleyes:

How many games have you watched where this actually happens?

Never had it. Have never seen it. Must be a regional thing.
Perhaps kinda like the problem with intentional fouls to stop the clock late in the game. Must be a problem somewhere since it's an NFHS POE again this year. But, and I'm quite grateful for this, rampant outbreaks of this apparent red-letter problem don't happen here that I've detected.
I guess I should be happy I live here.

Not that it happened but the guy tossed the ball into the air infront of the opponent before everyone steps in, so i'm guess if the opponent really hated losing a championship he'd just grab the ball and do something with it.

In that case the game would be considered still ongoing so you'll have to call technicals on teams that went into the court, even if both team does it, or you'll just gonna ignore the player's action and treat it as irrelevant and end the game?

Ahem.... :mad:

When your wife is giving you eighty-four decibels because floor drain in the basement is perking up all the sewage your thirty-six house guests are flushing through the upstairs toilets on Christmas Day due to the row of maple trees you planted over the top of your old clay tile sewer out to the street and my phone rings to come and rescue you, guess what. I've probably got a game assignment that afternoon. :)

"Every Time You Flush, You Put Food on My Family's Table" :D

when they toss the ball into the air, they do it such that time will expire before the ball comes down. Most of the time, both teams have been standing around for a few seconds before this, and the game has been conceded.

It doesn't happen in a 1 point game with 15 seconds left.

How about a tied game with eleven seconds left? Sometimes weird stuff happens. After all, they're only kids.

Apples and Rutabagas, Billy.

In that video, the player heaved the ball, not just to heave it expecting time to expire and just walk off the court, but as a try. Sure, it was a bad try and he mistakenly thought there was less time but it was not at all the same as what this thread is discussion (a celebratory throw)/

That depends. If the shot was released before the horn, I would count the basket. Otherwise, wave it off and head to the showers

Tell you what. You go ahead and call those technical fouls. Maybe you can sell your uniforms on eBay. 'Cause you damn sure won't be working again.

My advice to you: stop trying to come up with these ridiculous situations where you would make a call no other official would ever make and start reading and learning from the veteran officials on this forum. You'll be much better off. Good luck to you!

I wonder what potato would call in this situation.

Almost On Topic Video ???
 

Of course I know that. Mr. potato's post just brought this play to mind.
