When the ball is out-of-bounds for a throw-in and is still in the hands of the official or is already at the disposal of the thrower-in and at that moment a defensive player on the court causes contact with a player of the team of the thrower-in also on the court and the foul is called, this shall be judged as unsportsmanlike. .............. The possession arrow does not get reversed until the inbounds pass has been touched in play following jump ball/alternating possession situations.

Added 20 May 2010

Since my lost blog, we have gone 2-3. Pretty disappointing for us as all games were ones we could have and should have won. We took on Werribee at home (thank god) and went down by 11.
