Depends on the situation: if A team makes no attempt to run back on defense and B1 misses and B2 follows up and score, I'm going to hold my whistle. Again, it is a 2 on none situation. It would not be the same had it been a 5 on 4 situation. If it's a 5-4 situation, once I recognize the team in control isn't attacking the basket, I'll blow the play dead immediately to check on the injured player.

I've seen and witness coaches run out on the floor without being "PROPERLY BECKON" onto the court. Would you guys administer a technical foul to the head coach? What about a parent from the stand to check on his/her son/daughter?
