FOUL......right? RIGHT??

Sure hope it is, 'cause I called it last night.

Mr. howler monkey informs me that I should let them play and that since the ball was loose, thats not a foul. I was also reminded that this was girls varsity basketball and not..."sissy ball" from one of his jr. howler types.

No technical here?

Wow, Larks...were you out West last night? Had pretty much the same conversation wih a coach last night...her player dives into the back of the legs of offensive player and tackles her. I call foul - she argues...her next possession, her 5'1" point guard has shot blocked by 6'2" post and she screams "You'll call that ticky-tack tackle down here, but won't call that???" So she got a call- not the one she wanted, but she got a call...btw: score at the time was 69-25, she was losing.

nah - it was honestly said more directed on the floor vs. screamed at me. Besides, he stayed busy washing his shoes the rest of the game.

Larks,

IMHO you got it right. If the HM coach's remarks were directed more towards the floor vs. you or your partner, and weren't too off the wall, I might let it go....once. If he repeats it, then in the words of our commissioner, "we've got new arrangements".
