A1 requests & is granted a time out (4.5 on my count). Instead of being thankful for the verbal "one" count, A1 (on his way to the bench) turns around and shouts "You can't start counting until we pick up the ball, what's your problem"?
Now, I've trained myself to have selective hearing & have learned to ignore stupid comments. But wait a minute... is this guy really yelling at ME for helping him twice (could've easily counted silently & visually also could've ignored the time-out & went with 5 seconds).
I know if I stick him, Team B could make up to 6 points & Team A loses the ballgame on a stupid technical foul.
Besides NOT giving the verbal "one" count, what would you all have done?

A1 shouted this at you? As in a whole bunch of others heard it too? Whack! Easy call.
I have no problem with "ONE....". The only other thing you can do is say, "I'm still counting..." but only after you start to count.
