I actually had this scenario for the first time (at least that I can remember) over the summer. Happily I remembered the rule but I was talking to myself about the scenario for the first few minutes of the game.

I know the rule b/c I kicked it early in my HS career.

I this in back-to-back AAU games this summer. I called neither of them, the "R" was on point. Also had a stolen tip that day.

I know what you mean about talking to yourself. Whenever I have a weird play it kinda distracts me for the next few minutes. I need to improve my focus on the next play. That's the only one that really matters.

I whistled this dead the first time I saw it, but immediately went with IW since I knew the rule. Coach questioned me on it, but accepted my response that it's legal once it hits the floor.
