Coach A yells for a push in the back as his player throws the ball past his teammate and into the back court. The ball rolls all the way OOB. As I'm heading that way to administer the inbound, Coach A is still talking. I eventually issue the bench warning.

After the ball is inbounded and we're headed back up the floor, he says "get off your high horse". That's where I should have T'd him. I don't know what stopped me. 100% needed to be addressed.

Curious what similar story you may have, what comment you heard from coach or player that should have been addressed that wasn't?
A coach who losing by 20+ in the final minute is complaining to the officials? I would have told him to focus on his team and perhaps they wouldn’t be down so much.
