But before this next meeting, I humbly ask; what say ye lord's of the game?

I am no lord of the game (maybe a clown prince), MO: The backcourt call looks like a "you had to be there" situation. However, the unglue process would have really started to go if you had charged the coach with a timeout to explain a violation. This certainly does not fall under 2.10 nor 5.11.3. Unless the coach is John Wooden, I don't stop the clock and the explanation is done on the fly or as an aside at the next dead ball.
