Thanks for the casebook entry. I actually got fooled by this during my 2nd year of officiating. I was working a summer AAU tournament, don't remember the score, but I think it must've been close at the time. Team A is in their front court passing the ball around, B1 steals the ball from A1, and is on a breakaway towards the basket for an easy lay-up. Coach from A1 starts screaming at me about why I didn't call a foul on the steal and wouldn't let up, so I hit him with a T...before B1 had a chance to score. After the game, the coach comes up to me and with a sly grin tells me "No hard feelings about the T...I just didn't want that kid to get the easy 2 points." Fortunately that basket didn't matter 1 way or the other, but man did I feel foolish because he tricked me...Oh well, live and learn I suppose...
