The coach gets frustrated, I feel bad (not in any sense other than, 'oh, that would have really helped them right there'), and it's just not good for much. Especially when we go to the other end of the court and the other coach gets one right when he wants it.
Sorry, feeling soapbox-ish again tonight.  |
I had a counterpart one game that had that happen to him twice. The third time, he walked over to the table, picked up the mic which was sitting there ready for the Varsity game afterwards, and said "Timeout please" over the PA. I laughed so hard I had to go out to the mens room while my player shot the 6 FT's for the 3 T's the coach and his assistant racked up.
