Wht will all %$^^& break loose with the other team's coach and fans any more than Coach B an their fans should have over an obiously a bad call.
If I had been a coach and there was an obvious bad call. (I want to reiterate this in my opinion was not a judgement call but a rules interpretation question) and I asked or questioned how he could give ball back and I was ignoredas mentioned in an earlier post you'd have had to throw a T.
Getting it right can never be wrong.
I am not saying that we have to listen to a coach everytime, but in this case you just had a call, Coach is questioning it, it is a tie with time running out. Why not blow your whistle and run in and ask your partner what happened? Ask for a simple explanantion so you know what happened so you can explain it. My heck the game is on the line. I would probably would not do this with 6:55 left in the first but I certainly would in a tie game at the end.
It sounds like it was a press situation. where were you? You should have had a clue about what was going on. This is game management and court awareness. I may not have seen the exact details but i would think you had a ide of what happened. My two cents.
