Right Thing To Do ...

This thread reminded me of a near similar situation that I had decades ago. The huddled coach actually complained to me. I moved toward the eavesdropping player and told him (with no rules basis) to leave. Seemed to me to be the right thing to do at the time. Player left. End of story. Never had this situation again.

I never called it unsporting, just questioned if it could be considered unsporting. It pretty difficult to call something legal unsporting.

Occasionally, in regard to intrateam communication and profane language, Forum members have mentioned the "inviolability of the huddle".

The huddle is not inviolable all the time, especially during a free throw.
