Good grammar school basketball story ...
I'm lead and a A1 takes a three-point shot from the top of the key. I don't see what happens next because I'm watching play in the lane. But apparently, B1 crushes A1 some time after A1 releases the ball, causing A1 to go down. A1 is injured, so now there's a delay.
Coach of Team A seems to know the rules pretty well. He asks my partner why he wasn't watching the airborne shooter until his shot attempt was completed, obviously a good question. My partner tells him he did watch.
Coach of Team A then asks my partner why his player isn't getting a three-shot free throw. My partner tells him that the contact occurred well after the shot attempt was completed.
So then, coach of Team A asks my partner why his team isn't getting the ball for a non-shooting foul since my partner basically admitted that there was a foul, but that it occurred after the shot was completed. My partner, who has no answer for the coach, decides to give him a technical foul instead.
After the game, my partner tells me he hates when coaches don't know the rules. So, of course, I shot right back, saying I don't like it when my partner doesn't know the rules.
