I'm pleased that the only statement in my post that you found implausible was that I would believe that the coach wasn't lying. It's looks like you believed that the rest of my post was very plausible. Thanks. Appreciate it.

I believe the original situation was a V player dunking during the JV warmups... but that really doesn't matter. The conversation should go:

"Coach, we have a T on 33 for dunking during the warmups."

"What? 33 isn't even on my team. He's a Varsity player."

"Sounds like you have some things to deal with Coach. We will be starting the game with 2 free throws."
