IMHO, the best recourse is to just get off the floor. If you go back and assess a T, all you are doing is adding something to the scorer's book. Is it worth all that to go back on the floor and be subjected to whatever else might happen by not getting into your locker room? Heck no.

I disagree. In this instance, I think it was a flagrant T. In most states, the ejection carries an automatic penalty (suspension for some periopd of time). If you record the flagrant T, then the coach sits. If you just write it up later, the coach (perhaps) gets only a slap on the wrist.

If the situation happened with one second to go in the game, we'd report it, even if the resulting throws wouldn't affect the game. Treat it no differently if it happens just after the game ends.
