Trail tossed the ball to the lead, then proceeded to step into the huddle and engage in a spirited discussion with the coach, gesturing emphatically to the coaches box.

I just re-read the OP and this time this line jumped out at me. I believe it is highly unprofessional to step
into the huddle, and pick a fight with a coach. We've talked alot about baiting coaches over the years. If this description doesn't fit that to a t (no pun intend....wait yes it was
) I don't know what does. You want to say something to a coach, stand near the huddle (but outside it) and have a quick word after they break. In this description the some people want to:
- Miss the reasonably requested timeout in a close game
- Whack the coach because the referees had poor game awareness and management skills
- Not whacking him, but being visibly annoyed and then eating up his time out by picking a fight.
You know, one of my pet peeves about civilians is when they say referees want the game to be about them and not the game. I could understand why a fan would feel that way about the Trail
