goal count or not?

Continuous motion is continuous motion, regardless of what type of foul is committed by the defense.

And...apart from the rule/case citations if you wave off that goal you're going to be calling a T on Team A's head coach as well.

Yep!

A favorite story from my chapter goes something like this.

B1 pokes the ball away from A1 and takes off down the court with it. Team A head coach takes exception to the no call and curses the official. The official tells the HC "I'll be back in just a second."

The new A1 drains the easy layup, official turns and whacks the offending HC.

Awesome.

We had a ref stop running up and down the court after 2-3 trips of complaining, and then sat beside the same HC. After 2 trips of no calls, the HC finally asked what he's doing and he replied "this is the best position to referee from, so I thought I should be here".

I've seen something similar done in a baseball game with the HP umpire standing in the 3rd base coaches box telling the pitcher to start the inning.

I've done that. I got ripped for it, but my scheduler laughed his ass off after ripping me for it. I went a step further and sat on the coach's bucket. That was when I was MUCH MUCH younger.
