Do I have any recourse?

IAABO mechanics dictate that the administering official will stand at the spot of the throwin, holding the ball in such a manner, left side, right side, in front, or behind, to show the direction of the ensuing throwin. In cases where the officials need get together to discus something, we have been encouraged to leave the ball at the spot of the throwin.

There it is.

Coach Bill, look for the official holding the ball during the time out. He SHOULD be at the designated spot, or end line (if there is no designated spot). If the spot is on the bench's sideline, he should be parallel with partner, facing the spot. If you don't believe that official is adhering to this mechanic, I'd ask BOTH officials.

And, thanks for reminding us why it's so important to stick with these mechanics.

Proper mechanics are our friend. Proper mechanics are everybody's friend: coaches, players, fans, table crew, the police officer in the corner of the gymnasium. Well? Maybe not the police officer in the corner of the gymnasium?
