Dude,remember back to when you were a coach?You're playing for a championship and this situation comes up,with your team shooting the FT's.The officials don't call a violation on the other team,your FT shooter misses,the remaining player on the other team gets the rebound,throws the ball to the other end of the court,and you LOSE.Now,if you(the coach)happen to know what the specific rule is,are you gonna put in some kind of protest,or are you gonna let it slide?

Not many coaches will let it slide.I also can't blame a coach in this situation for not letting it slide.That's because he just got screwed by the officials.

Now,from the other perspective,if there is a protest,exactly how are you gonna answer it if you were one of the officials? There is no rules basis to justify what you did.

You always have to be fair to both teams when you officiate!
