No T for me

It's happened.

And, while I agree they should remember, we often don't think to remember until something happens that gets us in trouble. Plus, here, maybe they did remember -- the arrow, as it turns out, wasn't the issue.

Correct ....as I found out later. The arrow was not an issue to them. They gave home team the ball back as a FT violation. I did not know that until after the game.

Chances are, if you'd tried to slip behind the bench to address it, you'd have got stuck with a T. Not much you can do but let it play out.

Then I would have made it 2 T's. Then the officials would have to write a report explaining that they blew a rule then had to toss an assistant.

I can understand how that would be tempting.

Pfft in Texas we were threatened by the head of UIL officiating that if we ejected a coach after messing up a rule that we would be called to Austin along with the coach. In other words, it might be worth your trouble here!

Agreed. Not knowing the rule on FT violations was the issue.
