While he is doing that, his partner informs the offending coach that he has lost the use of his box, then administers the FTs. Calling official goes to the opposite side of the floor to administer the throw-in
We have done it this way also...but, I have found that by giving the "calling" official something to do, administering FTs, it enables him to regain some composure and not have him just standing there at Mid-court taking all the "heat" from fans etc.
We pre-game this...and I tell my partner that some situations may dictate the calling official going to Mid-court, it just depends. I might want to go there to talk to some of the players about sportsmanship, etc....while the FTs are being administered.
