I'm not 100 % about basketball protest but I believe that is how the protest procedure works. I know for a fact in softball, if they want to protest a rule they have 10 minutes to find the rule and show the official. If they cant find the rule within 10 minutes sorry we're moving on.
As far as basketball I believe it is the same way, however they must have the rulebook on the bench with them. They can not leave to go get one. 10 minutes if you find the rule fix it, if not were moving on.
But in the situation of shooting on team control, the other coach had to be thinking what in the hell is going on, and could probably help the situation out by getting together with the officials and getting it correct, but if you cant even stand up to talk to the officials about it than who knows. Sounds like someone needed to be making a phone call to the assigner that night right after the game and say thanks for getting us officials for the night but dont send me those 3 again.
