Wacked by coach

[lpneck]

Congratulations on the playoff assignment. I have 2 things to note.

1.) I would work on improving your situational awareness. You were the table side official in a situation where a team was extremely likely to be looking for a time-out. As soon as that shot went through the hoop, you should have been looking at him to grant the time-out. That is the only play in town for the table side C after the ball goes in. If you get it right away, as opposed to your partner who is 60 feet from the coach having to get it, you probably save yourself the second situation.

2.) As described, if he "disgustedly" hit your arm on purpose, that is an easy technical foul.
