It seemed like a no brainier to me, and probably why a tech didn't cross my mind when I looked up to see the coach running at me.

I know my original post painted my partner as a bit of a jerk, but I've worked with him before and he's actually pretty good, if only a stickler for the letter of the law. I don't want to open a can of worms with this statement, but to my partner, and other officials I'm sure, the rules of basketball are simply black and white with no shades of gray. But to me, there are times when game management, and even common sense play a role in our officiating.
