Doing a V game years ago. 2-man. I am the T and a steal and fast break ensue. I run my butt off to get into the right position for a call. The B player (formerly an A player until he threw the ball away) fouls from behind the A player who was shooting a layup. Had I not been in position, I would not have called it because it was one of those body fouls that may have looked like a foul but there could have been "daylight" in between the players. There was none and there was contact in the air. I go to report the foul to the bench. The B asst. coach, who is at least 50 feet from the play and can only see the back of his player, asks "Where was the foul??" I said, "Under the basket."
I normally don't give smart-aleck answers but I ran my butt off to get perfect position and this guy, who is 50 feet away with the worst angle in the gym, questions the call. It's that kind of question that destroys all credibility. If the play had been right in front of his bench, I could understand his question.
