Ignorance hurts....

High school regional champs.Last 7 seconds of the game. Red team is one point down, starting from the sideline in the backcourt. Blue team plays press, with three blue players in the red teams backcourt. Very intense situation. Red player passes the ball in to his team mate, who starts driving the ball up the court, then passes the ball across the half way line straight to a blue player, who intercepted the ball about four steps away from the halfway line, and starts running across the court.
Coach of the red team jumps up and starts SCREAMING for a violation, ball returned to backcourt.Even his players give him a wierd look. As he keeps screaming, he gets the big T. Red team lost by 3 points. But wait, there's more:after the game, he lodges an official complaint!
Did not see him coach any HS teams in the region next year.
The morale of the story:ignorance hurts! Good intentions are not enough to be a coach.
