...you see something new every game:
1.0 sec left in game. Team A down by 1, no TOs.
Team B at line shooting bonus. Coach A tells players to keep violating the lane to allow B1 to make both FTs, and ensure at least a chance for a 3 pointer to extend the game.
Took B1 5 attempts to make 2. Team A got a pass to halfcourt, but couldn't get the shot off in time.
I'm sure someone will argue "travesty", but I believe there's nothing to call. None of the violations were unsporting in nature, A1 & A2 merely stepped on the lane line.
(I also thought if team B has the AP, coach B could tell B1 to airball twice, and they'll get the ball back on a double violation)
Anyone seen this before?
