If officials at that level don't call it it must not have happen the way that it appears on video.

I can't think of any reason not to call this. The offensive player points at the player as he clearly crosses the line.

Now if the offensive player would have been smart, he would have merely touched the player with the ball while out of bounds.

No, I would still dare to hope it gets called next time but might as well get an intentional foul call out of the deal.

In NCAA-M, there is no clear guidance as to when to call a tech on this play:

"p. Opponents of the thrower-in shall not repeatedly have any part of their person beyond the vertical inside plane of any boundary line before the ball has crossed that boundary line."

Guys, look at the video again....the Lead official wasn't looking at the defender when he jumped out of bounds. He didn't call it because he didn't see it.

Whether he wants to admit it (to Izzo or anyone else) is another story....

Probably so....he was way too close to the play. No excuse though, guys at that level shouldn't miss something that obvious.

And THAT is why I prefer to bounce the ball to the thrower on any line were it is permitted and would like to see it permitted on the endline....to allow the administering official a much better view of the throwin.
