Seriously?

You honestly think the C did not hear any of that? All he has to do is turn and look when he hears the coach stomping and screaming - and then take care of business. Making the L have to run halfway across the court to get this T is NOT good teamwork, imo.

Also, crew loses eyes on players when they convene to discuss.

... the other videos posted by that youtube user feature some serious illegal dribbling.

If this is the game I think it is, it was a Class 2A qf last Wedensday in the Minnesota state tournament and the team in Blue was trailing by 4 points at 50-46 with 1:23 left to go in the game when this call was made. Had the call on the illigeal screen gone the other way it would have not resulted in free throws thougha the team in Blue was not in the bonus yet. Taht woud ahve only been the 6th team foul. My guess is the reaction was due to the time and score. Still though coches need to keep composure in a close game like that

I would like to see other screens in that game to see if that was called consistently. I think it was kind of "weak" but I can see why it was called. It is just a tough play to call every time correctly.

I was not a fan of the "wave" being a T, but that seems to be what others expect. So if that is the standard without hearing words I guess that is OK.

Peace

It would have to be video that was shot at the game by spectators as QF games in MN are not televised anywhere OTA, cable or online

I'd also like to see how screens were called in the game and agree that this call looks somewhat weak and marginal to me.

As for the T, that seems to be much more than a simple "wave." The stomping on the court, the gestures toward the officials.....way too demonstrative and easily T worthy IMO.

And I agree with what was stated above that the C should have handled this. At the very least he should have addressed the coach. He seems to only be concerned with tossing the ball to the L who misses the ball as he TCB.

Does not make the crew look good.

I guess I have been told recently that the "wave" is so over the top that it must get a T no matter when they give one. I never used that standard but have given Ts for other things. I have been criticized for giving Ts for actual language and other behavior and suggestion of integrity, but somehow the "wave" must be penalized at all times. And yes if the coach did more I have no problem with the T anyway. The officials were there and they know what was said and done in this situation and done previously. I have a hard time trying to judge someone for what they give a T for without hearing their side of the story. This might have been the 5th time the coach did something and then was warned. I just am not a fan if the "wave" was the first time a coach reacted, but some feel that is over the top.
