Today I coached a travelling 5th grade girls team in a BB tourney

As the ball sailed out of bounce off the other teams hand I had a player sprinting for the ball in a close game and for some reason she tried to catch it at the sideline and it went off he hand

I put my arms out...pointed to me brain....and kindly reminded her there is no reason to touch that ball when it's going out of bounce on the other team

It seems like players on our defense had a few of those today at the wrong times today
