Dorky coach

[LarryS]

I had a play last night in a boy's varsity game. Home team was attempting a free throw and two players from each team were at the far end of the court so my partner was near the division line and trying to keep on eye on them.

Player missed the FT and the rebound we a little deep. A player from each team went for it and the ball was batted toward the baseline. Home team grabs it and the player is fouled (pushed) going up to lay it in.

After I report the foul, the visiting coach and I have the following brief exchange;

Coach: "Wasn't there contact on the initial rebound attempt?"
Me: "Coach, I saw the players make contact but through that mass of players I couldn't tell who initiated the contact so I passed."
Coach: "Fair enough. I don't want you guessing."

They should all be that easy.
