Uh, ...geez, JR!
What part of missed the request do you want?
The request had to have come after the second free-throw went through. He was yellin', but I wasn't hearin' or lookin' his way.
...Did not request anything before I administered the ball.
Nuthin' was going on at the benches or table.
Besides how could he yell to me on the baeline, or my partner across the floor, that he wanted a "...TO, if..."
That's something that we want to keep very quiet.
Otherwise, we could have a coach requesting a TO, if the opposing team scores 5 times in a row, or if his team turns the ball over three times in succession.
I think the Trail is standing, facing the benches and is there to observe and glance. My good partner undoubtedly was queued on the rebounding action by the time the coach initiated his request.
To make matters more challenging, the gym had the added parameters of being dark and having a restraining line.
