Would you have chosen this option?
Last night (actually an uneventful game), girls varsity, mid-third quarter. Home is up by 12 and it is fairly clear the visitors do not have a comeback in them. I am T (opposite)...there is a small scrum for a loose ball at the low block on my side of the lane. The L had closed down. White secures the loose ball and the girl immediately goes down to her knees. Since there was a lot of movement between me and the play I did not know if she was pushed. I held my whistle for a second to see if L had a foul...nothing so "tweet"...travel.
Home coach (had not said anything to us all game) throws up his hands then goes sit in an empty spot on the first row behind the table but immediately gets up and returns to the bench. I almost whack him for that but choose to let it go. As soon as we get to the other end I call a shooting foul and after reporting tell the coach "Don't leave the bench like that again." He says "Thanks, I thought about it as soon as I sat down."
After the game my partner said he almost stuck him for that as well. Made me feel a little better...you know, the Great Minds Think Alike thing.
