Nice to see this attitude at least once in awhile, it is so rare in this day and age. Similar to the situation I had, where I called a foul on B, A was in double bonus and as we are lining up to shoot the girl says "but, she didn't even touch me", I just smiled at her and said "thanks, now go shoot your free throws". As for the situation, I agree with most of the guys, unfortunately we can't call what we don't see, even if every other soul in the place saw it.

ref buddies only commented to me and each other "looks like the basket will count" that kinda thing. did not in any way show visible emotion detectable by other observers. my bad for poor phrasing.
my purpose for the question is i'm from the get it right at any just about any cost camp.
for example, and since you don't know me, you'll just have to trust me, if the opposing coach had come to the scorers table etc to question the basket, and i was the lucky coach to have received the illegal 3, i would have instructed the scorers table to remove the basket. why would i do it? it's called honesty and it's called karma points. always, without exception, honesty pays in the long run.
you might say i picked this up from bjorn borg during his 5 year wimbledon run '76 - '80. somewhere in there, key point was awarded to borg errantly on an out ball on borg's baseline. borg went to the chair and said point belonged to his opponent not him cause the ball hit the line. chair obliged and gave the point to borg's stunned opponent.
that's the way i play. that's the way i coach.
thanks all for your time.
