The lead official looks really engaged. Is he even counting?

No he is not. And the coach is yelling at the wrong official as well.

That's an awful quick T when, IMO, the coach had a pretty valid point.

Do you have any idea what the coach said?

No I don't, and perhaps it contained some magic words, but after such a huge miss by his partner, I certainly would have a little longer leash even for some of the magic words.

Look like the lead got the out of bounds call correct.

Agreed.

But do you really think that bouncing the ball off of the defender's face should have been a no-call?

No. I was being facetious.

I'm not one for overreacting on these kinds of things, but I can't see how anything but a flagrant technical fits the bill here.

You aren't going to get that level of awareness or even an appropriate reaction from the L, IMO. Makes me wonder if there was anything else during another part of this game that wasn't dealt with that led to this.
