There I even quoted you completely correct with the [...] meaning words came before..so don't get off on me about that  . Obviously, some very experienced/knowledgeable officials on here (Jrut and zebraman) feel differently. They do have a choice and it sounds like their choice is to just get off the court. So for you to say they aren't doing their job because they don't follow your approach bktball ref, is wrong.

BBR can be rub people the wrong way...Lord knows we have went at it several times...but in this case he is 100% correct.
Yes officials should make every effort to leave the court as quickly as possible once time expires, but as you are running off the court and a coach does what was described in this thread, the officials MUST handle it.
To ignore it is not only NOT doing your job, you are setting up the next crew to get the same treatment from this coach AND the opposing coach who saw what was allowed.
It is not only the correct thing, per rule, but the RIGHT thing. The right thing is usually not easy. Ignoring it is easy so...
