Close game, not high scoring, but both teams are working their tails off. Three point shot goes up, the shooter comes back to the floor, then gets vigorously "boxed out" and knocked off his spot by a couple of feet. I call the foul.
The coach wants to talk about it. When I explain that you can't just shove the guy off his spot, he replies, "they're coached to do that." And, of course, one of the players chimes in, "it's called boxing out." So far, just par for the course.
Then the coach informs me that, "a good referee would not have made that call." At that point I walk away and we throw the ball in.
After a good nights sleep I'm now wondering if I should have Td him up for a rather obvious insult directly to my face. I'd like your opinions, what would you have done?
