Coaches, Coaches

[IowaMike]

I had a few gems from both coaches in my Freshman boys game tonight. For some reason the home coach, who lost by 20, was obsessed with thinking that the opponents were touching the line on free throws. He moved down the bench at the free throw line level at one point and was pointing at the line yelling that the kid was touching it. I was trail and although the kid was close, he was not on the line. He wanted to talk about it again on another trip down the floor, I told him that I can make that call myself and that he needed to move on. Very juvenile.

Second situation, a visiting team player collected a rebound, came down on both feet then lost his balance and fell to the floor. I whistled a travel. Visiting coach shouts "he never moved his feet, how can you call that a travel?" This coach also seemed to think that 3 seconds could be called during a series of 3 or 4 shot attempts in an 8 second period of time. They both provided some nice comic relief for my partner and I.
