He drew more hoots from the fans of course, than the players or the coaches. They know stuff like that is going to happen once in awhile.
I personally hug the sideline for the most part, because i don't want to get into the way. I would imagine, however, that most people in the gym expected that the play would be blown dead and that it would transpire as it did when in actuality, the game should not have been allowed to stop.

If you hug the sidelines when working 2-person where responsibilities take you all the way across the court (or even 3-person, where you have 60% of the floor) you're not doing a very good job of working the trail position.
I get in the way once or twice a year and usually it's on a quick steal. Shrug.
