Contact on Jump Shooter
This situation happened last night during a varsity boys game.
Late 4th quarter on a fast break, guard swings the ball to the wing for an open 3 point shot. The defender runs to try and challenge the shot and pokes the shooter in the stomach. I immediately blow my whistle as the ball falls short of the rim - shooting 3 free throws. The offending teams coach asks me what his player did and I explain that his player committed a foul by illegally contacting the shooter with the poke. He argues that the contact is not foul and should be ignored. Keep in mind I hadn't seen this at any other point or shot attempt in the game other than this critical point. Thoughts on this call? |

"Well coach if saying that makes you feel better..." Then walk away.

I tend to just walk away from dumb comments like that. The alternative is I come off as a jerk because I only have smart alec remarks. It's clear he either thinks I'm an idiot or he's an idiot. Either way, no reason to say anything here.

Argues is a bit of a vague term. Go with old adage of responding to questions not comments. If he asks a non-hypothetical question you can answer him, otherwise it is just a comment that can be ignored or acknowledge with a non verbal cue.
