Couple of game management notes.

I always pregame that when we have a "T" two officials should get together (the thrid official watches the players) and decide what's going to happen before the T is reported to the table. This helps calm everybody down, makes sure you've got the proper procedure in place, make sure you're shooting the free throws at the right basket, etc.

Also make sure that all officials are ready to go before you put the ball in play. In this case, with one official still explaining to the coaches what happened and what's going to happen, the other official shouldn't have put the ball in play. Wait another second and make sure everyone's ready to go.

Again- pregame, pregame, pregame.
