Saw this last week. I know if one ref says block and the other says charge at the same time, then the solution is a double foul and the possession arrow determines who gets the ball. But last week this occurred on a layup and the shot went in. They discussed it for about five minutes and counted the basket, called double foul, and then gave the defense the basektball without the arrow changing directions. Does anyone know if this was the correct call?

 

Also, I saw this last year when I was reffing a 6th grade game and I honestly didn't know what to call. Team a is shooting a free throw and my partner bounces the ball to the shooter. The shooter takes a dribble and it bounces off her knee and started to roll to the sideline. A team B player took a few steps to catch it a gave it back to my partner. Is this a lane violation? Should I have continued to count to ten? I just played along like nothing happened and the girl shot after my partner gave her the ball again.

I'm going to guess you play it the same way you would an air ball. But, I personally think you did the right thing by letting the player shoot, especially in the 6th grade.

In the first situation, they got it correct.

 

In the second situation, it would be a violation if the ref feels the shooter had control of the ball. If the official feels the shooter bobbled the pass from the official it would be a do over. If the shooter had possession and just lost it its a violation.

 

6th grade , however, could change that. Depends on the league mentality.

In the second situation the ref should just blow the whistle immediately and get the ball back to the shooter.

Sounds like they got it right in the first situation. It should be a violation in the second scenerio. But I agree with everyone else. You should just let them shoot again, that is what most refs would do. But the rule reads as this: If a shooter has the ball and then loses control it is a violation, unless they can get control again without leaving the semi-circle, and within the 10 second time frame.

You probably did the right thing.
