Should the coach have known this?

Last night, watching my son's team play its home finale. (He manages.) I sit behind the table, to observe the veterans, and enjoy the banter from both contingents.

H has the ball on its own endline. The throw-in is tipped by H1, who chases it into the backcourt. I brace for the inevitable cries of "backcourt" from the visiting contingent as H1 chases it down and starts to dribble.

The expected cries happen, but at the same time, the V HC (and most of the bench) is making a tipping signal at the 2-man crew, as if to say, "H1 tipped it! How could you not see that?!"

Call me naīve, but shouldn't a Class A (our state's highest level) varsity head coach know the team control requirement in a backcourt violation? How does someone get to that level without knowing this?

Few things make our jobs tougher than ignorance. I have to wonder if this coach should be clued in, for the sake of his knowledge, and the next crew who will have to deal with this again.
