Ball hits the coach

[Oz Referee]

OK, I missed the bit about the coach being half OOB, so I agree there is no way you can let Team B recover and continue with the ball.

As far as the T.... I can see everyone's arguement, but I think it would really depend on the situation, the way the coach has behaved so far in the game, and other factors as to whether or not I would call a T.

Art N I certainly disagree about your comment that in Basketball we do not use the "spirit" of the rules as opposed to soccer (real football!). I think the spirit of the rules is just as important in basketball as when officiating any other sport.
