Question Number: 18996Law 5 - The Referee 5/5/2008RE: competive High School Todd of fort wayne, in usa asks...When an injury occurs usaully a team will kick the ball out of play. It is then given back to the team by a throw in. Question - what action can a referee take if a team mate does not honor this practice and sweeps the ball up during the throw in with the intent to score? Answer provided by Referee Gary Voshol There is absolutely nothing the referee can do to enforce this common display of courtesy. How to play the ball on a throw-in is up to the player taking the throw.
