Early season kickage

I know you were preoccupied with A's coach, however, I assume you had 2 other partners that should have seen that team B was heading out (especially since the free throws were in front of their bench). They could have whistled for them to stay before any free throws were shot. Live and learn.

Live and learn. Yup.

I think one of the strengths of this board is that officials feel that it's a place where they can freely admit mistakes, get the support of other officials, and allow us to all learn.

Yeah, I know it's obvious that this is the way the board is supposed to work, but to admit to mistakes is never easy. Kudos and good luck with the remainder of the season.

Kudos on admitting the error; it's a new emphasis this year.

Let me just say that the coach should have known; and an early season T might have been a great way to learn. Just because we fail to prevent something doesn't mean the coach gets a freebie.

Just a thought for future reference.
