Believe it or not, I had this happen to me last week. Boys Varsity game. I'm the lead and the home coach is yelling for 3 seconds. I double-check and there is not a single offensive player in the lane. I put my arms out with palms up, shrug my shoulders and simply say "Where, Coach?" I really couldn't believe it.
This coach, by the way, passed the official's test this fall and is a first year ref.

About 3 years ago I was doing an 8th grade boys rec game. The defensive howler monkey was screaming for 3 seconds. There was absolutely no one in the lane at all. I blew the whistle and yelled at everybody to freeze. I then went over to the bench and said, "OK Brainiac, come out here with me and put your hand on the shoulder of the offensive player who's in the lane."
He said, "Well, there's no one in there
now!"
I replied, "Yeah - and that's why there's no count
now!!!"
He shut up not just the rest of the game, but the entire season whenever I had him again.
BTW - I thought calling him "Brainiac" was cool.
