Game interrupter? Both coaches and everyone in the building expected a technical foul and this is the only situation where we officials take on the blame when nobody (coaches, fans, etc.) actually thinks it's our fault. Weaseling out of the prescribed penalty and trying to make nice with everyone would be a much bigger game interrupter. As it was, we grabbed a shooter, she made the free throws, and we restarted the game.

With all due respect, I agree with everything that you said. Shiznit happens. And it happened because a coach didn't do his/her job.
