If the "burned" time out had cost me the game, I wouldn't care, sportsmanship and being a good host are more important than a win.

Yeah, and if there were more coaches like you were, we wouldn't have near as much to discuss here!

Good show!

Always remember... the younger the players the dumber the parents... every sport... every town... every state... and especially in tournaments.

Once again this is Jr.High with NBA expectations -- a coach should be responsible for their fans, not in the rules sense but in the common sense way.

I am just saying that you had refs that took it way to easy -- and it sounds like you dont have control of your team either jmo.

You need to learn to better comprehend what was written. He never said there was a problem in the game with his team, he said the problem was with the parents. It isn't the coach's responsibility to control the fans.
