Partner's standing opposite tableside as he's administering (as was his tradition), so I stayed tableside after reporting the foul. Coach is telling me how if we were calling consistently, nobody would be getting whacked in the face. With the delay after the injury and the other jawing going on, I also failed to catch that he was administering a second free throw after a miss. The second shot misses, rebound and putback shot go in. The other team throws the ball in play, and the other coach and (home) table start going nuts. They wanted the basket taken away. I tended to agree that it was uncorrectable.

Here are some useful sentences for future horrible situations.
To Partner: I really need for you to... (insert one specific item here, such as, stand tableside when you administer free throws. or.....don't administer free throws until I'm ready.
To Coach who's bending your ear: I need to go ref the game now.
To Table clambering for correction, or non-correction or whatever: I'm coping with it, please just wait a minute.
To Assignor: I've paid my dues. I don't want to work with that guy again.
