Coach jumped up and wanted to know what his player did, and I told him. Simple as that.. All in how you handle it as far as the coaches go. I do not understand why anyone would have a problem calling this a violation.
Most refs have no problem calling a T with six men on the court when ussually this is due to our mistake, this could just be an innocent mistake, why pennalize it.... Yet they don't want to call this play when a team is obviously trying to gain an illegal advantage.
I guess I just don't understand.

Self,I think you misunderstood what Dan and Mick were telling you.There's no problem calling a violation when a team is trying to take an illegal advantage.The problem does arise when a team does something like this to absolutely NO advantage.It's kinda similar to stepping over the end line on a throw-in when there's no pressure,a foul shooter putting their big toe on the FT line before the ball hits the rim,an offensive player with a foot in the lane when the ball is nowhere near him,etc.-i.e. no advantage/no whistle.
