All the way back up the floor they moan about the "foul" you didn't call, and ignore the bucket they got. Maybe Hawks can answer, but did they even think that if I would have called that, they would not have scored. Granted they might have gotten a bucket after the inbound, but why complain, you got the two, move on and let it go.

When I am on offense, I hate it when the defense gets beat and fouls to avoid an unobstructed layup. I feel fortunate if you let my player continue in for the layup and would never yell about that - any coach that does is off his rocker. You can be comforted in knowing that this guy does not just fail to understand the rules, he doesn't appear to understand the game.
Of course I let all my players know that if they are beat, get the foul on the floor and don't make it intentional (if you are beat so bad you would get an INT, don't foul). It favors the defense to get that foul called away from the basket. I do think the ref needs to decide then and there whether or not you have a foul on the floor. And if it is clearly an INT foul, I would be more inclined to go with the call because they get shots and ball.
