Should the coach have known this?

[Loudwhistle2]

Two weeks ago in a boys varsity game, my partner calls a team control foul. Varsity coach of 20 years asks partner why aren't we shooting free throws? Partner says, "team control foul, no shots" Coach says I thought that was only on a charge.

Last night, Girls V. Girl loses control of her dribble, chases it down and picks it up.
Coach " Double dribble"
Me - " She can recover a loose ball, coach"
Coach " Then that's a travel"
Me " How can she travel without control of the ball?"
Coach - " Well, it had to be something!"
Me - thanking my partner who initiated a rotation to get me out of there...

"Well, let me know when you figure out what it should have been. Til then, it's legal."

Surprised it was a crew of two heading into the tournament. Does Class A still finish a week later?

Negative. That changed about five years ago; it's all done in the same week. Eastern A tourney moved to Augusta, too.

There was a crew of three last week at home. Perhaps my kid's school asks the visiting team for their input. I really don't know.

Well, those guys and Massabesic [always confused the two of them] were Class C Western schools when I lived there. Still haven't grasped the fact that they are now a large school.

Much has changed. Northernmost A school is Bangor. Brunswick, Morse, and Edward Little are Eastern Maine. The state's shift to a southern-heavy population (notice how I avoided "bottom heavy" around here), plus Loring AFB's closing, has had a mighty effect on classification.

If by charge, he meant player control foul (which is most typical), then he would have been correct up until about 5 years ago. There was a recent rule change that changed all TC fouls to no shots.
