B's coach, who has been chirping all night about ridiculous stuff, wants a charge. Its 20's 5th foul. I inform player and bench. B 20 starts to walk off. Coach says, "Say out on the court" and stares at me. I calmy look at timer and say, "20 seconds. Start the clock." Coach quickly yells at B 20 , get off the court and grabs a sub and yells get in the game." Took about 6 seconds. Quickest change of attitude I've seen in a long time.  |
He has 20 seconds to stare, coach, get the sub in, I don't care. But if that kid isn't in and ready to play at 20 seconds, we'll be shooting some free throws.
The coach shouldn't have time to stare, though. Every disqualifying foul -- notify coach, start clock, notify player. In that order.
