I know there have been times I've missed an illegal dribble because I get straightlined by either the defender or the dribbler. I've told the coach, "yeah, I'm sure she did, I just couldn't see it from my angle and I'm not going to guess."

On the play in question, I could see myself responding, "No, coach, I didn't see it because I glanced at you to answer your question." (snarky part to keep out: "It won't happen again.")

1. That's an easy flagrant technical foul. I can't see at any level of play, 5 year old all the way to the NBA, where a player would remain in the game for doing this.

2. Sometimes, stuff happens. This would be a play where I wouldn't mind a partner coming in and getting the play. Especially if it's as blatant as you made it sound out to be. Surprised B's coach didn't give the non-calling official heck

2. he was probably looking at the official and asking why he didn't call a backcourt violation.

I would still think he'd be able to see a player walking with the basketball but that does make sense haha

True, or he realized the reason the official didn't see it was because the two (official and coach) were engaged in conversation.

I also agree that I wouldn't mind my partner catching this if he sees I'm talking to the coach.
