[letemplay]

in a varsity boys game the other night. After hearing a bit from a coach and giving him a couple of half-hearted stop signs, an official hits his whistle and stops play...not for a T, but for a warning. He lets table and partners know he is warning coach, kinda like a DOG. Opposing team, who had ball at time (following no-call that I guess set off coach) now has to restart, put the ball back in play with a throw in and allows other team to set up press. Now the other coach is upset that play was stopped...and I think rightfully so. I've given plenty of warnings over the years, either during a dead ball or as I'm going by the bench in a live ball sitch, but never stopped play to do it...and, perhaps it's not that unusual, I can't remember ever seeing it.
