In my explanation, I was considering this to be a dead ball after a whistle. If no whistle, yea you keep playing and you got no call, but I'm not quite sure I could ignore it. Me and coach is going to have some words when the ball does become dead. Accidentally dropping a C/B you're not going to hear that hit the floor. However, if this accident occurs right at the time of a call/no-call that didn't go your way. Guess what coach, you're in hot water with me. From a coaching prospective, probably best not to have C/B in hand while ball is live, that way, nothing stupid like this can get you in trouble with the officials.
Case in point, coach has towel in hands and gets frustrated with player and throws towel onto court after a play. My official immedately whacks him. Coach comes to me and says, I was not trying to show up official, I was mad at my player. I told coach as observer of the game, how was the official to know that? That towel made it onto the playing court. Best to not have that in your hand while ball is live and you can't accidentally throw it and get in trouble. This really gets under my skin when coaches want us to read their mind and bypass the rules when the conditions warrant. That is completely out of line whether you did it intentionally or not.

And then if the coach doesn't say anything while I stare at her, you're going to blow a little oxygen on the flames? Genius, absolutely genius.

No, I'm going to make damn sure that that doesn't happen again. That's crossing the line and good officials know it. This is just me, because my skin is not as thin as yours. A coach could verbally curse me out on a call before I would let him throw his C/B, kick a chair, or throw a towel on the floor. Again, that's just me.
