Welcome to the real world.
Just so we are on the same page. It's not so much that I was afraid of the crowds reaction as i was my assigner reaction when you consider that we kicked the call, then T up the coach and this decided the game. Sometimes, although I will admit this may not work in every situation, but sometimes it's best not to throw gasoline on a fire. The coach was not irrate and out of line, just out of the coaches box onto the court, in fact he was about at half court before i caught up to him. Double overtime game, great game, how about this, very subtly coach, I need you to step back off the court and I will get my partner to come over and explain the call to you. Saves the embarassing technical for "all" of us, a little bit of game management, dodges a potential damaging situation.
