Shoe falling off

[zm1283]

JH boys game tonight. Lots of fouls, lots of contact, lots of held balls, lots of whining....you get the picture.

Team A attempts a shot, it misses. A1 loses his shoe in the process. B1 gets the rebound and takes a dribble and as the new Trail, I blow the whistle to let A1 get his shoe back on. Of course, B's coach throws a fit (Yes, the same coach who argues any block/charge call with something about "being set" and thinks a muff is a dribble). He tells my partner that he needs to come help me because I can't do that. Oh yeah, he was up by 20+ at this point.

I looked in the rule book, but didn't see anything specific. Should I have done something differently when the shoe fell off? B's player who got the rebound wasn't even close to half court yet, so it's not like he was about to shoot a layup and my whistle stopped the fast break.

Oh yes, not only was B's coach ignorant of the rules, when I told him that I don't need his running commentary from the bench, he played the "I wasn't talking to you" card. He would do this the whole game...Whine about something and then claim he wasn't talking to us. I finally told him that I'll answer a question but I'm not going to listen to statements from him. He said he didn't have any questions, so I told him I don't want to hear any more out of him.
