Coach takes a charge!!!

how can you say that you would hold your whistle until the lay up is finished and then blow it.

Hotlink, there is a casebook play on each type of situation (one case that discusses an injury, and one that discusses a technical foul). In the case of a T on the defensive coach, the interpretation is that you wait to call the T b/c you don't want to take the advantage away from the driving offense. So. . .

A1 attacking the basket.

Coach B makes inappropriate comment.

Official allows A1 to complete his play (completing a play means releasing a try or withholding the ball from play).

Official assesses technical foul to Coach B.

The thing to remember, tho, is that this case only applies in a situation where the defensive coach commits the unsporting act. If a member of the offensive team commits any type of foul, the ball becomes dead immediately unless the try is already in flight.
