I had almost exactly the same thing happen Saturday night. Kid fumbled the ball while dribbling at the line before shooting the first of two shots. He looked over at me (I was trail) and I motioned for him to pick up the ball and start over. He missed the first and made the second. Opposing coach was asking why we didn't call a violation. I told him it wasn't a violation, the kid just fumbled the ball. He gave me a look but said nothing more.
More importantly, where do they get some of these AAU coaches? So many of them have no clue as to the rules and they whine and complain about almost every call (or no call). You can't reason with them because they know EVERYTHING (and we don't know ANYTHING). It is fun to whack them and make them sit down.
