This thread has been highly entertaining

Considering the OP, saw this yesterday in a BV game.
The official tosses for the opening tip. Home team controls and proceeds to drive to basket and score. The official who tossed immediately went into a "squatting position" and stays there at the circle in that position through the score.
He moves/waddles to the sideline as the ball is coming back up the court. His partner, obviously on his toes, hits the whistle and points at the clock, creating a diversion from what actually occurred.
He walks to the score table, gives a quick explanation, and then he and the other official walk to the "squatter" who now is trying to get upright. After a brief time, he regains his "senses", and play continues on.
First time I had ever seen the tosser get kicked in the privates on the tip. I bet he changes his mechanics for future tosses
