Coach A is going to want to know why he got screwed for simply following orders (shooting the FTA) and having the CE caught in the allowable time frame. And now he doesn't even get a throw-in after being fouled? (play along here — you know this is how it would go down.)

It's not as if a throw-in had ended and couldn't be corrected. A throw-in had never been started. So why not revert to the error and give A the throw-in? (Have to give Coach A an answer ...)

Just give him the rule and get the ball in play. The reality (that I wouldn't mention) is that if his player had made the FT, he'd be getting the next throw-in when we wiped the FTA.

If he pushes too hard, let him know he can petition for a change to the rules that are written by (for the most part) coaches and ADs.
