If the score is Team A 100, Team B 10 at full time. And Coach B (or Coaach A) runs on the court and abuses me. I'm calling a T, and we are shooting free throws.
My reasoning - although the free throws may not have an impact on the individual game, what about the position of teams in the league (or tournament)? Or the ppg of players? Not allowing the free throws may put one team at a disadvantage.
Of course, I am only a FEEBLE referee, so no-one cares what I think.....

D- Here point for or against is not that big of a deal. Most tiebreakers never make it that far. I think the intent of the rule is why stick around if it will not make a difference. The only time I may do this is if a coach does chase me off and makes contact or soem other action that needs to be addressed, then I would return to the scorer to eject him, then fill out the paperwork. But it would have to be pretty severe.
I usually develop this odd case of deafness after the buzzer goes off in a game. What is even stranger my hearing returns after I get back to the locker room.
