THIS IS BAITING, and putting yourself in a tough spot. Besides, the original post said they did NOT call a foul, so the ball was still LIVE. In addition, it is the responsibility of every official on the floor to be focused on the action that is in front of them, not worrying about a coach that MIGHT have thrown a clipboard.
For instance, I used to coach, for several years before becoming an official. I never threw a clipboard, but I did drop mine once. It WAS an ACCIDENT, and I did not do it to show up anyone. I was turning to talk to one of my players and just accidentally let it go. The official didn't respond at all. Using your logic, 2 + 2 = T for me because . . .

Maybe the coach has something he/she wants to say. Now, I'm going to give them a chance to say it, especially since they just insulted me (officials are human) with that C/B.

I didn't have anything to say. What about the coach that just tosses their clipboard to floor in front of their chair? I see this at least 1-2 times EVERY week. Do I assume then that I am being "shown up"? As has been stated by many others . . . "If you don't see it, you don't have any business calling it."
