I refereed a High School game on the weekend. I called a travel on the point guard in front of his team's bench.
The player's Coach Yells in my ear "You are not refereeing a jv game, he can make that move!"
I responded in kind saying "Thanks Coach. You just validated my call."
With that he threw his water bottle at the bench, for which I assessed him a technical.
Question. Did I bait him?
Game situation 5 point game, 10 minutes into 1st half.
