Hey, don't sweat the small stuff.
I did not say don't take care of the situation... my crew would get them back to the sidelines and prob no technical... But these situations are not the same because the coaches are always within about 45 feet of the action they can see what is traspiring between the officials where as in football you have no idea what is going on if you are over 25 yards from what is going on... Also, in basketball we rarely have long discussions on plays... if there is a blarge and both officials signal by rule its a double foul and we move on. In this sitch the crew is bumbling around for an inordinate amount of time and no one knows what is going on...remember the game outcome hinges on what they decide...lets worry about that vs a warning... apples and oranges... but like I said if you guys wanna dig for boogers have at it...

The coaches in this play are standing down there trying to find out what the call is going to be while the crew has there thumb in their butt... lets concentrate on getting the stuff that really matters before we worry about a sideline warning...
