Girl loses the ball, "tweet!" I call the foul. Coach RUNS almost to the end line and screams, "That was LATE call! That was a LATE CALL!" I turned, looked at her, and replied, "AND . . . coach, it was the right call!" She yells, "but it was a LATE call!" Turns and stomps off.
Same coach, same game, now about 2 minutes left. Her point guard is dribbling in the front court, defender is within 6-feet. I begin my closely-guarded count. 5-seconds . . . "tweet!" Go the other way. Come back down again, 5-seconds . . . "tweet!" Go the other way. Coach RUNS to the division line, and screams, "What is that? What is that? What did she do?" I told her "5- second closely guarded count coach." She responds with "what is a 5-second call?" I walked away.
Same coach next day. Her player (on offense and in team control) and defender are going for an errant pass. Her player forearms another girl to get to the pass. "Tweet!" Team Control Foul. Give my direction and spot. Coach looks right at me and says, "What exactly is a team control foul!"
I guess the NFHS rulebook came in the Spanish version.

This is pretty ridiculous. The only thing I can think of is you don't know how to spell T becaue I pray you gave the coach a T.
