Boys frosh tonight. The second half of a JV/Frosh double header. Visitors getting beaten by 20 and a little over 2:00 minutes left in the game. I'm lead and positioned wide as a swing pass to A1 comes into my primary behind the three point line.
A1 shoots and B1 gets ball then gets arm.
No call.
The resulting scramble for the loose ball ends up OB off A2. Visiting coach goes nuts, can't believe I didn't call a shooting foul.
Coach: "How is that not a foul?"
Me: "He got ball first."
Coach: "No he didn't, that's a foul."
Me: "....."
Coach: (following me up the court as I officiate the inbounds and subsequent play) "blah...blah...blah"
Me: "That's enough coach...(stop sign)."
Coach: (Out of his box by now) "blah...blah...you s&*%."
Me: Whack.
Question. When you have a team that is being outplayed and loosing soundly do you give them that call?

Good question. I bet you wish you had.

Even more importantly...Do you call contact after the ball is blocked?

Normally no, but sometimes you throw the coach a bone if he's just sat there taking his beating like a man.
If you get my meaning.
