I worked a game this season where a player (girls' game) scored her 1000th point. I asked the coach at halftime if they were going to do anything special as I heard about it from the game manager and hate to be surprised by anything.
His response? Winning the game came first and he'd call a timeout if they built up enough of a lead so they could acknowledge the player. Frankly, I found it refreshing. She scored her 1000th point early in the third quarter, but they didn't stop the game until there was 2 minutes left in the fourth, and they didn't even use a full timeout to congratulate her.
