I'm sorry that you feel as a person you have the right talk down to someone because you assume you are better. I hope there are not more officials like you out in the world.

Really. I don't get it either. Could be that "all coaches are paranoid" training they give us showing its head

But I would've probably tried to spoil A's fun since, as the R I tend to point the way the ball is going and emphasize it. Frankly, IMO there is no good that can possibly come to an official during a trick play. So I'd be pointing the proper way and hopefully the defense would get the hint. Eventually, I would put it in play anyway.

(Edited to add: I deleted the parallel thread started by BBallCoach, since the same comments were made above by the same poster)
