Then, a play happened where he complained to the calling ref "how can you say he was shooting? He was at the foul line (slight exaggeration) when you blew the whistle".
I couldn't take it anymore. I said loud enough for the coach and the ref to hear, "Jeez! He clearly gathered and was going up". The ref gave me a nod, and said "What he said". I don't remember the coach complaining after that.
