What Would You Do?

Not shocked, especially it being the freshman level. These kids are LeBron James wannabes and their parents are seeing the dollar signs.

I should be surprised that I am the only one that agrees with what BBall_Junkie actually did -- say "ok" and put the ball back in play.

I don't agree that no one is going to be happy -- the visiting coach doesn't want the T, so he will be happy ... the home coach has said that he wants to win on merits and doesn't want the T, so he will be happy ... and if the coaches are happy, I'm happy (if I'm working the game).

Have to say that when I heard this story my respect for the coach went up!

I'll leave this to the rest of you rules nits to debate

Even though your hands were tied at the time you certainly reported this to game management after the game I hope. This guy/gal has no business working the table.
