An Experiment

[bainsey]

You might want to consider the source, Fiasco. That coach is unhappy with losing the ball. His desire to be objective does not equate yours.

Case in point from today: My partner hands the ball to a player for a front-court endline throw-in. The coach continues to shout instructions to that player, who is trying to listen to his coach. Meanwhile, the count goes on, and I'm sensing a five-second violation coming. I'm right. The coach, who was so caught up in his instructions and probably didn't pay attention to the count, exclaims, "that was a pretty fast five seconds!"

Sometimes, not everyone is paying attention to the same things we are.
