Saw a similar sitch last night in a boys varsity. Team up by 40 with 6:00 minutes to go in game. Full court press all starters still in. At that point losing coach told his player to in bound ball by throwing it to leading team for an easy lay up. After the second time the official stopped the game and was talking to the player throwing it in. I am not sure what the official was saying. I am assuming he was trying to talk the player out of it. The coach was screaming give him the ball. The official did and the coach yelled for the player to throw to the opposing team. At that point the leading coach called time out. Substituted three players but still full court pressed. Play resumed as normal but crowd was screaming to call off the press which he did after 3 or 4 more times up and down the court. How would you have handled this? This would seem to be heading for a travesty if they continued to throw the ball to the other team. How long would you have let this go on? Woudl you speak to only losing coach or both?
