That's fine,as long as you whisper to the new head coach that he just got very lucky-and why,and you also had a coach on the other team that didn't know the rules.If the other coach did,you could be giving yourself a real headache.

I'm not big on throwing coaches for the technical stuff either.To be quite honest,I might not have "seen" one or two of the grabs. I would have made sure that the coach,whether he was new or not,knew the rule from then on,though.The tough part of not calling this is the case where the other team ends up losing by 2 or 3 points,and your failure to give them the FT's they deserved might have been the difference.
