I haven't offered
any point of view about what the rules say or how they
should be applied. I'm not arguing that a referee
should call something on the player or
should no-call it. I'm only pointing out that spending time working on a play designed in the hope that a referee will make a call that I have never seen made is a gamble and that coaches have better things to work on in practice.
(Personally, I think the leash on coaches roaming the court has gotten way too long and wouldn't mind seeing them get whacked -- but that doesn't mean I think that getting my player to run into the coach is a good coaching strategy. And I can't recall
ever seeing a coach get whacked for being on the court if he was coaching rather than ranting at the ref.)
