He did suggest there are officials giving the players/coaches bad information. But, he never said that we should do anything to counter that instruction. He only suggested that no players or coaches ever question that, they just do it.
Officials are indeed directing player to go there. I've heard it....in high school. What if you have a partner call a T on a kid for being in the frontcourt talking to his coach while the FTs are being shot? Are you going to just let that be?
