No big deal, right? I guess not. My partner who was closest to the bench was getting an earful from the visiting coaches about their momentum being stopped and something should be done!!
The game continues...and during the next time out, the cheerleaders grab more balls and start throwing them out AGAIN!!! Uff da. So the asst coach starts approaching me during the timeout with his hands up and I politely told him that he would have to take it up with the A.D. who was standing at the end of the court.

I think that I would have taken it up with Game Management rather than waste the coaches time with my problem.
