WITHHOLD WHISTLE
10.4.1 SITUATION C: A1 is driving toward the basket for an apparent goal when the official, while trailing the play advancing in the direction in which the ball is being advanced, is cursed by the head coach of Team B. How should the official handle this situation?
RULING: The official shall withhold blowing the whistle until A1 has either made or missed the shot. The official shall then sound the whistle and assess the Team B head coach with a technical foul. If the official judges the act to be flagrant, the coach shall be ejected and shall leave the building or go to the team's locker room. If the offender were A's coach, the whistle shall be sounded immediately when the unsporting act occurs.
