Fully expecting him to get a sub up and give him a quick talk, I took a position about halfway between the table and center court.
The coach decided to stand there and stare me down. My first reaction was to match him. I did this for a few seconds then decided I didn't want to appear "defiant" so I broke it off. After about 20 seconds he wanted a TO. Told him he could have one after I got a sub.
All that finally worked out. My question is has this ever happened to you and how did you handle it?

Many years ago, when I was coaching, I got a T for giving an official "a dirty look" (his own words). No gestures involved here! I classify that as the epitome of paranoia. Heck, I can't help it if I don't have movie star looks!
