Agree with that. Just made it easier to go IAW.

Your partner was right, there's no "self pass" travel rule.
Your partner was wrong to engage the coach. You entertained his objections too long anyway.

Why would you stop play after that basket?

The ball went up on the stage at that end of the court (old middle school gym) and a player went up on it to get the ball. It was a good opportunity to get everybody's head back in the game, me included. I was still dwelling on the rulebook class that had just finished, and honestly felt confused as well.
