Whenever someone tells me someone said something like this, I tell that person there's a simple explanation - they're wrong.

That reminds me of a game I did a few weeks ago.
V girls, my P calls an intentional foul. Good call. Plus the shot went in. So, we count two, I'm the new L and clear the lanes. Girl hits both free throws. Throw-in on the endline. A dribble or two and then another shooting foul. Coach wants to know, and gets a player to ask, "Why did she get two shots and the ball?"
I hear her ask this and knowing my P as well as I do, I already know what his response will be.
A split-second delay and he says: "because that's the rule." I know that he was going through some possible responses in his head and that's what he came up with.
Classic. The look on the girl's face was, after turning around to her coach, "why did you make me ask that?"
