I was watching a game at camp, (I had on my stripes), sitting near the table. About half-way through the second quarter, a foul was called on B2, his fourth. As the table was busy writing it down,and the players on the floor were setting up for shots, Coach A came over to the table and said, "Can we put that onto number 35?" (The player who had committed the foul was 22). The table guy looked up uncertainly for a moment. Then he kind of looked around for help or back-up or something. The coach said, "I mean, otherwise, Tommy is going to foul out in the first half." (This kid was playing very roughly, and probably should have fouled our already). The table guy was just not sure what to do. I stood up and said, "No, you can't do that. If it's called on 22, it goes on 22" Then I started to sit down again. The coach said, "Cmon, it's just camp". I said, "Yes, but it's high school rules straight down, and that is not okay" (I didn't say, "If I have to wear these hot, long pants...") The table guy then turned to the game and the coach sat back down.
Questions: Was I wrong to interfere? Should I have reported it to the ref on the floor? If I were the ref in charge, and I heard that little conversation, what should I have done? Isn't it just unbelievable what poeple wwill try to get away with???
