The conversation bordered on ridiculous. That is why it ended like it did. I wasn't getting anywhere using angles and physics. :(

I think we all know just how much respect is due. Don't mind me. I'm just going to find a quiet corner to curl up in while I cry.

So where did you inbound the ball for the ensuing throw-in?

BTW you would likely be a fan of what I would have done in your shoes. It involves making the C eat his whistle. :D

Literally or metaphorically? Or both? :D

We inbounded under the basket.

C was bigger than me (I'm 6', 190# and one fit SOB) but dumber. Maybe I could have talked him into eating his whistle. It wouldn't have involved any of that fancy angularity. :D

I would have simply said, "Nope, that's not the rule. You have an inadvertent whistle. White ball right here (at the POI)."
If he didn't like it, too bad. It wasn't his decision to make in the first place.

I could have done that. I chose not to.

As stated before, his contention was that it hit the back of the backboard. I would have hated to have our post game conversation during the game in front of coaches and fans. I felt silly enough arguing it in the locker rooom. I'm sure there is some old saying about arguing with an idiot that applies here, but I can't think of it now.

Oddly enough, no one made a single complaint (except me) about the call. Not even our other partner. Our partner that night took the Sgt Schultz position during post game.

Never argue with an idiot. He'll drag you down to his level and then beat you using his experience.
