Today I was doing a few games.
In one game, we had an injured player, as their was no immediate threat to the player or the other players because he was down under the basket on the far side of the court, and the ball was being advanced away from him, we let play continue.
A foul was called as the ball was at half-court, and then the coach was beckoned. The coach was not happy with our decision to allow play to continue and was assessed a technical by my partner.
Now the coach of the other team was also not happy, and was irate about it. I tried calming him down by explaining to him the procedure followed in a situation like that but he didn't seem to buy it. In his fury he went to the table and swatted the possession arrow to the ground. Whack!!! Flagerant technical foul. Coach is ejected, leaves without incident, and games continues with free throws, and an inbounds at half court.
