It was interesting analyzing this one without sound...especially the coaching issue. The body language and mechanics tell quite a story even without sound.

As far as the screen...I agree with those that called it marginal. I probably would have laid off. By the letter of the rule...probably a foul. A big boy varsity playoff game? I'd be inclined to "play on".

Regarding the T, it almost looks to me like the official that called it was looking for an opportunity to do so. He was the furthest away from the action and came flying across the court (emphatically) to grab it. If I had to bet, I'd say the coach had been warned or had been acting afoool for the entire game and he (calling official) had enough...foot stomp....wave...WHACK!
