On the shot or not
2-man crew, I'm Lead, opposite from table side: A1 drives my side of the lane, parallel on the edge of the lane, after A1 gathers, fouled by B1, and the ball is released so late that it hits the back of the backboard. I call the foul and award 2 shots.
The opposing coach voices,"How can that be on the shot?! It hit the back of the board. It can't be a legit shot!"
I chose to ignore his comment. We proceeded with the free throws. There was no further comment from the coach.
What would you have responded? I thought that my non-response was best, in this instance.
