Seems like a whole lotta "maybes" could be plugged in here as we guess at what the officials' knowledge/intentions might have been. You don't mention that the ref and his/her partner conferenced because the P might have disagreed with the 3-sec. call.
I just can't imagine voicing support for a fan to complain to an AD about any referee of any sport. You say you were an official once, then you must know how difficult the job can be at times. The mistakes made may or may not have been honest ones, but the behavior of the asst coach is unacceptable at any level.

The ref that made the 3 second call was on the baseline and based upon when he made the call, it did not appear to be a delayed call as it occurred after the rebounder put up the shot and appeared to get fouled. Further, there was no conference between the the referees about the call.
I guess I just wanted to vent about this ref as I have literally watched over 200 7th and 8th grade level school and AAU styles games over the last 2 years and he struck me as one of, if not the, worst. 'Nuf said
