Doesn't sound like he was addressing you. May not have even been talking about you. Since you were administering the FTs, my guess is you didn't make the foul call. If he yells "Idiot!" that's one thing. But a whisper? No. Now, I might turn and ask, "I'm sorry coach. Did you say something?"

I guess you were there but I can't say that I would have called that one. And I'm as quick triggered as anybody.

And I agree with Rich. You should have gone opposite and gotten away from him. We don't tell coaches they have to sit down. They already know. If we resume play and he's still standing, that's a little different. Now one of us is going to tell him to sit as we pass by. But to go to him and tell him he has to sit onoly gives him more opportunity to whine and complain.

JMO.

We had a disagreement over a correctable error (failure to award merited FT), and he was pulling situations out of his "gazoo." I stayed firm, and we started to shoot the 1l1,,,that's why he snuck up behind and whispered, "Idiot." Maybe I should have ignored it, since it was only a whisper, but if the mercury in my thermometer shoots through the roof, I T...and it did....
