Head Coach from A instructs A12 to "hold the ball until 8 seconds on the clock, then run Tennessee special."

A33, sets up on the left block right next to B25. Both understand this is a "free breather" and are both waiting for the clock to get to 8. In fact, both players are standing next to each other with hands on hips, talking to each other about how good a first period it has been.

Who's calling a 3 second violation here ? (9-7-2)

Not me.............
Why not? How do you know B went into a zone because they were "satisfied", and not because they wanted to protect their bigs from picking up any dumb fouls? Do you know for sure B's coach wouldn't rather go into halftime with a lead, and you've just screwed them out of a violation and turnover? Why does does A33 get a break from you because they're dumb enough to stand in the lane, even you know that's not their "intent"?
