Great question. I was paying attention. She was questioning the call. We both knew that the call was wrong, but she did not go ballistic. Earlier in the game she asked if my partner was a first year official and I told her I did not know. (After all I am only in my second!) I did hear a lot of "Can you help your partner out?" from both benches.

Oh boy again. I know a HS coach who's a former small time D1
coach. Older guy, really nice, he just wants to enjoy
himself coaching HS basketball so he's a joy to work for.
One game I worked with this coach I was partnered with a
weak official. Not fun, my friend the coach was not a
joy to work for. At one point he said to me in a slow,
deliberate and very pissed off voice "Dan, sometimes you
just HAVE TO take control." He was right. There are times
you just have to take control.

What I did do was on the next possession was to make a 3 second call on Team B. Team A coach gave me a "Thank You" and Team B coach just smiled.
