P.S. In this same game...Visiting Coach B received a "T" with 6 seconds remaining in the game and losing by 6pts.
He was upset that his player, on the FT line, had just received a violation for "taking to much time" to shoot.
Whew!!...tough call!
(gotta talk to my buddy about this...there must have been some kind of blatant attempt to delay the game.)
When, in our class, we went over the rule about 10 seconds to shoot, someone asked the teacher if he'd ever called. He said, he only remembered once in 25 years, and that was when someone took 15 seconds. Once, I got to 12 twice on the same player, but she shot right at 12. I went to the coach first chance I got, and "reminded" her of the rule. It was freshman girls, and I figured probably no one knew. It didn't happen again in that game.

About the "suggesting" a sub, I wouldn't do it in a "real" game. But in one of the summer leagues I work, in order to keep things simple we don't keep track of personal fouls, but the ref can "sit someone down" for a while if he seems to be rough. I've sat a couple kids in that situation.
