Irate Coach!

[Jesse James]

The irate coach from ABC ought to be sending the officials a thank-you note for screwing up. Now they can push the ball with a long inbounds pass without losing precious seconds. Erroneously losing the arrow with under 9.4 left isn't likely to hurt them anyway.

It also gives the defense a chance to set up when his team could have pushed the ball up the court (9.4 seconds is plenty of time) and have the defense scrambling.

MY BAD...The arrow was point to XYZ...The coach from ABC was irate because he lost a possession due to the whistle and he was down 4 with 3 timeouts left

Officials screwed up. Flogging is acceptable.

Coach has every right to be mad at a rules misapplication...whether he would have gotten the ball back with the arrow or not.

Did ABC Coach protest the game?

i didn't say he shouldn't be mad

[SAJ]

Why would lead official who just said 1n1 to the girls "come onto the court" after the miss? The coaches interpretation of the situation doesn't make sense.

It'd have to a quick whistle to come before anyone rebounds the miss. Thus, give the ball to ABC at POI.

What do timeouts have to do with any of this?

The coach of ABC still had 3 timeouts with only 9.4 seconds left on the clock. All we can do is guess, but I think SAJ means the coach should have used his timeouts earlier so as to preserve more time on the clock.

And that has nothing to do with the officials misapplying a rule.

Most time-out are called when the clock is stopped or when that team is in possession of the ball, don't see how that would preserve time on the clock.

It's not football where you have downs.
