You are absolutely right about this, and I think the coach was nice about it because she saw clearly that this was the players' problem, not my mistake. She seems to me like a pretty good coach, with a lot of work to do. In her school district there is no Jr Hi ball of any kind, so her freshmen are incredibly green. I hope I work another of their games later in the season -- I have a feeling it might be a pleasant improvement.
Rut--you are right that if she had asked a question as a point of information I would not have granted, but just answered the question. But the tone in her voice was clearly requesting -- although I don't think she realized that was what she was doing. If I had seen the girl tying her shoes, I would not have granted the TO, just snatched the ball back and started over. I didn't see her until way too late.
