They should have been up by 1 with 7 seconds to go.[/B]

This makes no sense. No more than saying A should have been up by 40 so that it makes no difference.

When the ball goes on the oob side to the line, and it touches a coach (i.e. coach grabs it) it is oob by the player who last touched it while the ball had inbound status.

I'm going to pass this on then to all the coaches in my area. Tell them that they or a person on their bench should interfere with a play where an actual player is trying to decide the outcome of the game. Oh, what a novel idea that is. :O
I'll even make it a POE that the coach can even stretch himself, while in the c-box, into the inbounds side of the sideline plane if A touched it last to guarantee his team possession of the ball.
But then again, both coaches will be doing it, so we're all even steven.
There's nothing about a coach intentionally interferring with live play that is basketball. Nothing.
