Rut's point is well taken. Last week, I had a coach yelling for a TO in a really noisy gym and he was not in the field of vision of either of us. Finally, I saw him out of the corner of my eye and called the TO. After the game, he said he had been yelling for five seconds. I told him the problem was that we are trained to ignore any yelling coming from the benches. It took a minute, but then he smiled and said, "OK, I get it".
