Once. Several years ago. Backcourt throw-in on endline. I stepped away about 6 or 7 feet and bounced ball to thrower. Defenders run up and try to "surprise" them with a press. Kid throws the ball in, and then turns and runs over towards me, goes BEHIND me and then runs out onto court and gets pass back from teammate. Nice way to break the press...Coach just shook his head as I reported the T. Not sure if he was shaking his head at me or his player. Didn't really care either way.
