Quite honestly, we have no way of knowing who this person is or which team he really pulls for. We have to be very careful when we start assessing Ts for fan conduct. I would probably not give a T.

True, but we also have no way of knowing if A1 would've made the basket. Kids miss wide open lay-ups all the time. I honestly don't think I would award the basket. I would be much more inclined to assess the T. If the "tackle" was deliberate, then the tackler must be rooting for Team B. Right? There's no way a fan of Team A would stop A's fast break on purpose (unless A1 stole the fan's girlfriend, or something). I think I would have to give a T to Team B (not to the Coach), two shots for A and the ball.
