My first varsity night of league play last season, second game of the night was girls (equal time stuff, and I don't care either way), and I had a similar. It was very early in the game and we had a steal and 1-on-2 situation; I'm new lead. A1 tried to split B1 & B2 who were both in the paint and next to each other. She got through and put up the shot with some contact. I passed on the call. (Responsibility of contact on A1.) Coach came clear onto the court waving his arms and shouting "You gotta make that call!". I did. I never even looked at him, but cracked my whistle (I was infront of the table) and just reported the T to the table. My very experienced partner said I was right on the money.
Who knows, we may get back to those schools after all.
Our association applies the POE. I've seen our top officials stop the game and tell the coach (from well on the court) "This is how the game's going to be called now, so adjust." Smart coaches do. Slow coaches keep yelling expecting life to return to their normalacy.
