Coupla things:
1. There's nothing wrong with going to the coach with an explanation after you report a foul. Goes double if he's a screamer - that's a good way to put him in his place man to man early on. "C'mon coach, don't you teach your players to move their feet on defense? I know you do, so why are you making a big deal about this?" The calmer you say this the more he'll get the idea that you are in control of him and not to be f*cked with. Of course, you gotta back that up next time he goes after you. And I don't mean with a warnng.
2. I can't help but think that unless B2 pushed A2 to the ground on that shot in a way that made even B's fans drop their jaws you should have left this alone, at least until you saw if the ball went in or not.
3. You should have called your assignor first to give him your side of the story and a heads up.
Hang in there!
Oops, forgot 1 more thing: make sure your name is in the home book & the visitors book for every game. This will avoid the "I need to get your name" mess after games.

Hi Dan,
I agree with you, however, What are your thoughts on #2. Doesn't happen often but I have made this call. Usually when I do and I am the lead I don't even know that a shot is on its way. It's whistle fist up, swish and count the basket.
