Although I addressed it with sarcasm and in jest, this was my point to begin with! The OP asked if he should have passed or not. My joke was tell me what you are going to say when the coach is frustrated that his kid misses the layup and he knows you passed on a foul to give it to him. Don't pass on the foul away from the ball because you THINK a player has an easy bucket. I would rather say "Coach I had to get that sorry about taking away maybe an easy 2" than have to defend "Coach I passed on that foul because you had an easy 2 sorry your kid missed it".

Too much talking. "It didn't affect the pass." "It didn't affect the play." Get out of Dodge.

I wouldn't say all that. If I should have called and didn't I say "I kicked it" it was a no-call then I say what I said earlier "don't be mad at me because your kid can't make a layup".

If I do call it and he welps then I say "To obvious to let go".
