I too thought of this thread last night.

GV. Visitors losing by 8-10 points most of 2d half. Home team has a senior girl who is 6'4". Home team plays a high pressure in your face style of ball. V1 has ball near visitors bench at time line. I am T bench side and have dropped into back court to give girls room. H1 has assumed a Hi pressure stance right in V1's grill, but is maintaining verticality. V1, who had picked up her dribble, leans back to try and throw a pass but takes a step. I called travelling. V HC wants a pushing foul. I explained no contact and that she lost her balance. As I was about to turn away the assistant coach, who was chirping all night dismissively waved me off with both hands. Under the organ grinder/monkey theory of assistant coaches (see below) she was whacked. HC was not pleased. H team won by 8.
