2 Man mechanics. I was trail, and the shot occurred right in front of me, FT line extended. Partner was lead and called the pushing foul against the defense. We counted the score and gave the ball back to team A on the endline.

There was a couple players who thought that either Team B should get the ball, or it should be an "and 1," and the player that got pushed should shoot the FT. We ignored it and played on.

Team B's star player was on the bench at this point with a pulled hamstring(which occurred late in the first half, so he hadn't played at all during the 2nd half). He was one of the most vocal about the "and 1" scenario. We just ignored him and played on.

With about a minute and a half left in the game, and Team A from this situation leading about about 12 points or so, I ended up ejecting 2 players from team B. Team B's star player with the hamstring injury ended up coming back in the game just because of their numbers, and he came over and told me that he had looked up the rule about the earlier play and that we were wrong. I asked him what rulebook. He said NBA. I told him we played High School Rules, and his response was, "Why High School? I would think we should play games according to a ruleset closer to our ages." I Just chuckled and said if he wanted us to play NBA rules, to talk to the league director, and adjust our pay accordingly so we could go learn the NBA rules to use. But the funniest part was when an opposing player in the vicinity said, "The tantrums that your buddies just got thrown out for looked more like the high school variety than anything the NBA would allow."

I think a quick explanation is better than ignoring it.

Point taken.

And I would say that we did give a brief explanation to the guys on the floor -- didn't totally ignore them. But the guy on the bench yelling from the other end of the floor, I did ignore.
