I hated having that same feeling as I watched the play since I don't want to blame the victim. But again, it doesn't excuse the actions of the head coach.

Meantime, there are things we can learn/discuss in terms of the crew's reaction. My first thought was I wished the L and the C got the T away from the scene of the crime (I know, it's an emotional situation so it's hard to think straight). The T could have stepped back and observed the benches while the L reported his PC and the C made sure the HC left the visual confines.

I was also a bit surprised the L didn't ring up the HC on his own. Three-point game or not, the guy came 5-10 feet onto the court to get in the L's face. It looked as though he may have thought about calling a T then changed his mind.
