I wish to enter a general request for all coaches to actually read the rule book before challenging refs on the rules. Two coaches tried this on me today.
1st coach calls for traveling on a throwin near the table. "He's moving his feet, he can't do that."
"Yes, he can."
"No, he can't."
Throw in gets stolen by his team, and I blow the ball dead (stopped a would-be layup for his team, mind you) and inform the coach that the rule gives only the three foot parameter.
"You mean he can do this?" He marches in place.
"Yes."
"He didn't think that was the rule." Points to the other coach.
Me, walking away.
#2. Start of 3rd quarter. Red ball. I hand the ball to the A1, and A2 insists to A1 that he should throw it in. A1 tosses the ball to A2 who promptly steps out of bounds to throw it in. Tweet. Violation.
A's AC tries telling me the thrower can pass to a teammate out of bounds. This is just too good.
I was laughing so hard during this game, though, that I didn't have the presence of mind to ask the HC to control his AC. Ended up ringing the HC up in the 4th quarter.
