With the history of the previous play, where he's obviously not just appealing to another official but is instead making a direct comment about her competence; do you "just inbound the ball already?"
couple of thoughts....
#1 if any partner has addl. info. to share about a play, they MUST share it ON THE COURT (don't bring it back into the locker room! it does us no good there...). I have no problem w/ the partner coming in to talk w/ said official.
#2 how is the coach making a "direct comment about her competence"?
#3 the official simply pointed in the wrong direction...that happens...and when it does, you can expect to get a little grief/comment/hassle from the coach who thought he/she was getting the ball and now is not.
#4 how does a T fit the game here? the coach griped about two out of bounds calls...big deal...talk w/ him/her and get thru it....and simply inbound the ball already.
