I'm really scared to call things...

I certainly wouldn't say you aren't or wouldn't call this obvious violation because your scared. I have no idea and its not my business….BUT the other potential reasons for not calling it aren't very good either.

I don't have any idea about those who post here (for the most part), but the officials around my area who go looking for things like this to call are the same ones who wonder why they never get selected to go to the state tournament.

The OP isnt something that you go looking for. It finds you. It fits the obvious rule quite nicely.

Exactly. Its an obvious violation of not one, but two rules. So just do your job. Try to be preventive and get them to knock it off if you can but if they do it right before a missed FT then blow the whistle and award another shot and tell the coach his bench is going to cost him or her their coaching box if they do that again.

And I don't know how they do things in AZ but here in VA not calling obvious violations like this is a surefire way to NOT work the state tournament, to get better games, or whatever your aspirations may be to advance within this level.

The same can be said for those who shy away from calling the obvious stuff because they don't want to be noticed (or some other crap). Sure, don't go looking for stuff, but when stuff finds you it needs to be handled.

Most here who have said the T is an option have also said they (we) would go with disconcertion first. Call the disconcertion and it will shut down quickly; advise the coach that it could have just as easily have been a T.

Of course, then he'll instruct his bench to do it while seated.

You need to expand your circle....and quit being so impressed with yourself.

BTW...

Not awarding a replacement FT, or not giving a tech foul, could end up causing a lot more "trouble" than not doing either of those things.

I imagine assignors would have a much bigger problem with you not calling something laid out in the rule book than calling something that may not have been the popular choice.
