Yesterday I had a game and neither coach knew me since I'm new to the area. So I have a play and the coach has the same view as me. There is some contact, but his player had the opportunity to shoot the ball and make the basket so we play on. The coach is complaining for a while and then he says something to my partner like, "You need to help him." Mistake #1. I'm going to trail across from the table and this coach is yelling, "You need to get some courage, you need to get some courage." So I'm thinking, "Uh yeah, he really doesn't know me." WHACK! I stayed opposite the table, but in those situations I don't know if there is any better moment than going right back beside the (sitting) coach after a play like that.
His team won the game, but I will probably be on his list now. I don't think coaches should have that much power to block an official or play a part (50%) in Mississippi in the playoffs. Oh well, if the same thing happened, I would do the same thing.
