You still need to get help.

Are you sure it wasn't the East German swim team?

In this particular game, his team was getting crushed (30-40 point spread) and it was late in the 4th. I merely blew the whistle, got the 6th player off the court, and continued. The opposing coach, who had been a gentleman all evening, merely asked "That'd be a T in a closer game, right?". To which I responded, "Absolutely". By the book, No? The right call? Yes. Noone had any interest in rubbing salt in the wounds of the losing team.

Absolutely correct, CR.
