I'm not passing judgment and I know some people aren't going to like this but I believe a foul may have been missed. Looking at the 2nd video, when the kid pulls up for 3 on the fast break, notice how the ball continues upward. I'm no scientist but I have to believe basic physics tells us if the defender's hand is slapping down and the shooter is bringing the ball up, if the ball is contacted, that ball should be forced down or at least slow it's ascent. It goes about 12 feet in the air. Also, looks as if the shooter's left hand goes down while the ball and right arm continue up.
I have to believe there was some contact here and if there's any contact from a defender from behind we have a foul.
Thoughts?

Certainly could be true....and it also could possibly be true that there was a foul missed at the other end before the first "T".
But a missed call can never excuse the behavior that the coach exhibited imo.
There isn't a one of us that hasn't missed a call at some time. And I can guarantee that NO official ever wanted to miss a call either. And nobody feels worse that the official who just found out that he had missed a call. All you can do is see if you can learn something from it and then just move on to the next call.
Most coaches know that also.....will grumble a bit...and then move on too. And that's the way it should be.
Jmo.....
