Enforcement of penalty for player OOB

[DanHS]

I had a loose ball near the end line. The GK played the ball from OOB. I blew the play dead then and awarded the ball to the attack outside the attack area. No one objected including my partner but I kept thinking about it for the rest of the game.

Is this a technical foul that should be blown dead immediately instead on play-on? If we allow play to continue with GK out of bounds and attack gets the GB then we would have a time serving penalty.

It should be a (short) play on. However, you don't throw the flag on the GK as soon as the ball is picked up; you give him a second to get in bounds. If he continues to participate in the play from out of bounds after the ball is scooped up, throw the flag.

BTW, when you get the "participating from OOB" technical on a loose ball on the sidelines, they can't get a horn even though it "looks like" a sideline OOB.

Just to be sure
1. I should signal play-on when I first observe the player OOB.
2. If offended team gains ball then no penalty.
3. If offending team gains ball then blow whistle and award to offended team.
4. If no one quickly gains ball then end play-on before something bad happens.
5. If offending team continues in play after possession then throw flag. Since he probably didn't know he was OOB I suspect he would have continued to play.

Yes to all, except that in 1. you should only call the play-on if the player is involved in the play somehow. If he gets bumped, steps out, and then steps back in before he participates further, no foul.
