Here's my latest.....away coach's signal for his full court press is an open hand raised over his head and he wiggles his fingers. This guy chooses to coach from his seat.
4 point game with 20 seconds left and his team hits a 3, as I turn to head up the court, (knowing he might want a TO) I see him get up with raised hand and so I honor his press-signal with a TO. I could tell from his puzzled look that I shouldn't have blown the whistle so I looked at my partner and we put em in play. Oops, but both coaches understood and we all laughed.
Like M&M said, because the coach can call the TO and we know the spots where they might want one, we divert our attention from the floor for a moment and situations happen.
