And render the decision boxing/wrestling style....grab both coaches by the arm and raise up the arm of the winner....

JMF mentioned "harms way." Perhaps I just don't see enough harm in my little corner to be concerned about that. If there's a higher chance of danger in your part of Rome, I can certainly see that point.

Seems like a big waste of time that can only bring negative...he's either going to be happy or pissed off at you, and no amount of talking to the coach is going to change that. All you've done with your method, in this situation, would be to give the head coach a head start in ****in at you.

Game's over. Leave. You might not think there's danger - doesn't mean there isn't.

Would 3-13 help us here? I know that the equipment didn't fail, but can we still go to the table?

If the red/LED light fails to illuminate and the timer’s signal fails to sound, or is
not recognized by the officials, the timer shall go onto the court or use other
means to immediately notify the nearest official. If in the meantime, a goal has
been made or a foul has occurred, the referee shall consult the timer:
ART. 1 . . . If table officials agree that time expired before the ball was in flight,
the goal shall not count.
ART. 2 . . . If table officials agree that the quarter or extra period ended, as in
5-6-2 before the foul occurred, the foul shall be disregarded, unless it was
intentional or flagrant.
ART. 3 . . . If table officials disagree, the goal shall count and/or the foul shall
be penalized, unless the referee has knowledge which alters such ruling.

No, Billy. The rules clearly state that the table crew only gets consulted in the case of an equipment malfunction. Barring that, the officials on the court need to make a decision.

Didn't look like it was off in time to me.

Game is over.....if he asks me something as I'm running by him....maybe "Coach,shot was good" Never breaking stride.

Nothing good will ever come out of a conversation that you allude to.
