Nevada, I do not agree with giving a T to a coach because he is an official. I'm not saying the coach shouldn't have got a T, it is just difficult to know the tone he used when asking the question. Rainmaker is happy with not giving a T so it seems like it all worked out.
A long time ago in a middle school gym there was an official playing in an adult league that used "speed" rules. The officials did not have to handle the ball on violations and some other situations. Also, the inbounder had all the way around the end line and side line up to the division line to inbound the ball. So, the opponent was called for a violation and they knocked the ball into the corner. The official, who was playing that night, asked the officials to give a delay of game warning since this hindered the start of a fast break. The officials ignored him. As it turned out during the next possession the officials team was called for 3-seconds. The official had the ball behind the three point arc when the call was made. Does the official/player give the ball to the officials? No, he proceeds to jack up a three during a dead ball which prevents the other team from taking the ball out. Whack! Technical foul, no warning. So after the game they said I uh I mean the official/player should have known better since I'm
I mean he is an official. The official/player's response is "that doesn't matter tonight, I'm a player!"
This situation reminded me of that night. I still don't think I uh
I mean the official/player should have got the T since they didn't do anything about the previous delay of game.
