I wondered that a couple times. But it was 2 man so double that.

Not me.

No, it was first half and my player already passed me on the sideline with a 2 on 2 break. The original trail saw the steal and was passing the other coach by then and had the IW.

The other coach was mad at them earlier in the game when his TO request went unheard and was trying to make a point since there was an official running by him. It was bang bang and considering the previous circumstances, I don't blame the guy for the IW. I blame the other coach.

If he can coax an inadvertant whistle, to stop a play and set up his 1-3-1 trap at 1/2 court.... then I think causing an IW that way should be a T.
