When will you learn that it's not your job to tell a team not to foul? Just work the game that's in front of you.

While it is frustrating how coaches and players handle late game situations at times, it isn't our job to coach them.

It is not your job to tell white whether to foul at the end of the game or not.

Not to mention that there's a good chance that issuing this order may be counterproductive.

In any game, there are four types of people: players, coaches, officials, and spectators. Most of the problems come from one group trying to act like another. Don't act like a coach, and don't be a spectator.

You were right not to shoot free throws at the end of the first game, but if someone "gets hammered" with :01 left, call it and shoot 'em. Otherwise, you're just encouraging kids to go nuts at game's end.
