It never crossed my mind to whack 'em in that situation. I guess that falls into the "kill the loser with kindness" category...
I'll put it in another category.
A coach goes onto the court, interferes with and actually stops play, and you ignore it? And the fact that he already has a "T" and you don't want to have to toss him is a factor?

Give me a break!
