That and a player diving for a loose ball and sliding with it not being a travel. Had a coach jump down my shirt for that last night, I was C right in front of her bench and the player slid to a stop right in front of us both...she screams in my ear "HOW IS THAT NOT A TRAVEL!" Then when I tell her without looking at her "Coach she has every right to slide with that basketball and come to a stop" she goes "Geez I was just asking", ha! Also had a 5-second count on a player that was divided between two defenders on a switch and the other coach jumps me for that, "HOW CAN IT BE 5-SECONDS WHEN THEY SWITCH?!?!"...then I hear his assistant set him straight....wanted to really laugh on that one, insert foot in mouth....
