This is what he said: "When I went to administer the throw-in in the backcourt the coach was near me complaining about my partner's call mostly saying that her player was in position to take a charge; I told the coach I didn't know if her player was there or not, but I do know her foot was OOB at the time of contact which by rule would make it a block. The coach wasn't too impress with that rule nor my explanation of it and continued the discussion to the point where I had to end it with a Technical."
Let me just take a flyer on this and ask, what if this isn't the reason his partner called the block? Now the explaination (that is what it turned out to be) is taking the coach down the wrong path and the end result is a T. Don't get me wrong, I'm the last person to tell you not to give someone a T, but I'm wondering if the T would have been avoided or delayed
by telling the coach that your partner would be there shortly to explain.
Also, I don't have a problem with someone helping in a two-person game. However, I don't think this was helping with pressure as much as it was watching his line.
Dan, is this something you are in the habit of doing when your partner has a block/charge call and you end up right in front of the coach? I just don't see myself explaining like this a lot. This explaination could go for any call.
BNR, I have yet to work with someone big enough or mean enough to not ask them WTF were you doing "consoling" (that is what it looks like most of the time) that coach after I gave a T. Call me crazy.
