Boys JV. Center B1 (who is wearing glasses) gets a defensive rebound in the paint and is smashed in the bridge of the nose by A1. Partner immediately calls a foul on A1. B1 is clearly hurt, is bent over in pain holding his glasses and his nose and is visibily angry. He slams the ball to the floor -- and it bounces quite high.
This all happens right in front of me. Partner makes no call. I make no call. At half-time partner asks be about the play and I tell him it is a good "no call."
At some point in the second half, after another "non-call" involving the same player, the opposing coach complains and mentions the first-half slam. "That's an automoatic T and you guys didn't call it."
There are a few things that are "automatic" T's in my book, but this one was not close. What would you have done?
