This particular play happened on the opposite end of the court, so it wasn't even heard. I'd like to change scenario slightly, though, and ask.

Let's assume the play happened in front of the coach's bench again, and this time he yells across to the T on the other court, "You've got to help her out!" With the history of the previous play, where he's obviously not just appealing to another official but is instead making a direct comment about her competence; do you "just inbound the ball already?"

couple of thoughts....
#1 if any partner has addl. info. to share about a play, they MUST share it ON THE COURT (don't bring it back into the locker room! it does us no good there...). I have no problem w/ the partner coming in to talk w/ said official.
#2 how is the coach making a "direct comment about her competence"?
#3 the official simply pointed in the wrong direction...that happens...and when it does, you can expect to get a little grief/comment/hassle from the coach who thought he/she was getting the ball and now is not.
#4 how does a T fit the game here? the coach griped about two out of bounds calls...big deal...talk w/ him/her and get thru it....and simply inbound the ball already.
