I agree with most here that a T on the Coach for whistling is a stretch...OK, "unjustifiable".
BUT, if it was in MTD's judgement that the whistle was indeed unsporting and the bucket was made because of this unsporting act, why not take the points off the board?
EXAMPLE:
If the Coach commited an unsporting act, such as throwing a chair on the court, and the defender had to dodge the flying chair thus, allowing the dribbler to make the basket...wouldn't you cancel the basket because of the unsporting act in this case?
