Preacher, have you ever called a T on a coach for a comment he made to you while he was standing directly behind you?

I appreciate you get my point.

Fortunately, in 27 years I have not had this happen. The difference is on the court we do have visual contact and are visible to everyone in the gym. And secondly the Voice right behind me is more recognizable or identifiable than the sound of a vioce coming through 12 inch concrete walls or even a closed door.

Side note: When I learned to become a pilot I had my peripheral vision evaluated. The doctor was amazed that it exteded so far behind me. He said it was almost like having eyes in the back of my head.
