However, to my other point, 10.1.8 does back up my contention that the NFHS feels that high school varsity basketball players can become confused during a throwin situation (in this case a very specific situation) and (in this very specific case) that confusion can result in rules being "bent". If the NFHS feels that high school varsity players can become confused during a throwin, then why can't some admit that seventh graders can also become confused during a throwin. I do not expect others to allow a do-over, that's the "When in Rome" aspect of this, but I would think that they could just admit that some seventh graders, especially the "leftover" seventh graders that play in my Catholic middle school "junior varsity" league, can, early in the season (we have a no press rule in place during the first half of the season), become confused during a throwin.
First of all, this case play does not result in rules being bent. The sportsmanship rule is all about intent, and this case play follows the rules to the letter. Remember, if a DOG warning had already been issued, this would result in a technical foul. The case play is merely giving guidance on when to call an unsportsmanlike player technical for delaying the game.

No rules are being bent.

Second of all, no one said 7th graders won't get confused. Some are saying they'd be less lenient than others; and frankly, I think the differences expressed are way overblown and most of us here would rule the same way given the same set of players.
