Coach doesn't like a call. Turns and addresses the fans loudly, "Hey, is there a referee in the house?" What do you do?
Most of us said T or toss. Interpreter said, ignore.
I'd be interested in any opinions any of my learned colleagues on this board would care to express.

Hmmmm...interesting. Just a thought - if a player "self-promoting" to the fans is worthy of T, why not a coach trying to incite a crowd reaction. If the big guy says ignore it I guess I can go along with that, but the length of the coach's leash just got very very short in my book, & I would probably enforce bench decorum & coach's behavior to the letter of the rule.
It must have been an interesting discussion, sorry I missed it - had a JV girls game at Century tonight.
