"count the basket"
Tonight during my adult league game, lead official (two man crew) is running down the floor during a one on none fast break. When the ball is at about half court the player that turned the ball over yells "sh*t". The ball is now about at the three point line and the defender is clearly beaten when the lead official tweets the whistle. While lead is on his way to the table to report the "T" I mentioned to him he probably should have delayed the whistle. To my surprise he counts the basket! Of course that starts pandimonium!

lol no I thought you did? The ball handler obviously completed a lay up after the whistle blew if that helps. I was just surprised he counted a basket seconds after the whistle blew just because he agreed with me that he should have in that situation delayed his whistle a couple seconds.

I'm sorry the official is so fragile that he'd never heard the word s#%$ before.

A technical for that? In an adult rec game?
