Do you read this as actually under the basket, i.e. on the floor?
Gym has 2 doors at each end. V team warming up at the basket nearest the hallway where both teams locker rooms (and ours) are.
Home JVG team enters through far door opposite their bench, immediately turn right, jog along V's endline, but in foul, past V team, drop their things on home bench, go past scoretable to their basket.
Visiting coach (at her bench) asks me if I'm giving them a T for that. I said no, H team didnt say, or really even look at V team, no form of unsportsmanlike, or intimidation that I saw, and the coach went back to her bench.
I did mention it to the H coach, suggesting that having them enter the closer door will eliminate any possible future T's from another ref.
Out of curiosity, I asked the guys working the following varsity game, and they were split (they werent there to see it and only gave opinions on what I described).
What say you?
