4th Quarter ends tie game! T to coach?

[ATXCoach]

Scrapper,

I am not doubting you one bit on this, but for the "non-tied" scenario to play out . . .

the winning team's coach would have to be going irate over a call/no-call at the end of the game he just won. Otherwise the free throws would be irrelevant to the outcome.

Has anyone ever scene a coach do something so dumb?

Wait, that's a loaded question - Has anyone ever had a winning coach get a T, thus allowinging free throws to his/her opponent, thus causing overtime?

Have I seen it? No. But I've heard of it happening; especially when coaches think they have a free shot. I've seen winning coaches who weren't any happier with my officiating than the losing coach; coaches who think they overcame the refs to win anyway.
Some don't know they can still get a T and it might cost them the game. Easily the most irate coach I've ever seen, and the only one I've actually had to toss, was a YMCA coach in the Des Moines area. He coached a 7th grade team and was constantly barking for calls. First time I had him, one T was enough. Next time he didn't fare so well and lasted about a quarter and a half. His teams won, I think, every game they played by an average of around 30 points.

Not I -- but I did have a coach pick up his second T after the game was over, causing him to miss the next game of the tournament.
