New problem to think about

Had a new situation develop yesterday that I'm not sure how to handle if it happens again. I was lead, table-side. The play was closely contested, so I was focused exclusively on the floor. There was a shot, miss, rerbound, and we headed off the other direction. As I picked up my feet to start sprinting, my head came up as well, and my vision spread out. To my right, I noticed a coach and several players walking along the sideline toward their seats. They had been huddled in the corner of the gym at the end of the bleachers, and the bench had been empty. I had not noticed at all.

They sat back down immediately, and as I said, play was intense and fast and I had to get down to the other end and help my partner. I debated momentarily whether to address the "field trip", but before I could really think what to say or do, I just dropped the whole thing.

Later, I asked my partner if he'd seen or noticed this action by the bench. He had noticed, but felt that since this was summer ball, and it was a more relaxed atmosphere, and since the coach hadn't given us any grief at all, so that we knew he wasn't trying to show us up or anything, he felt it wasn't worth worrying about. I asked him what he'd do if it happened again. He said if they did it again, he'd tell the coach that was all. I asked what he'd do if he saw it during the season. He said hoped it never would.
