Most fitting coach objection

[bainsey]

JVB tonight. Very good game, went into overtime, thanks to a V comeback, including a V three at the buzzer to end regulation.

(And yes, one varsity crew member asked why I didn't call a travel on that shot.)

Coach V has been clearly on the whiny side. (Coach H has been fine.) Fourth quarter, 30-second time out, throw-in at the sideline, near H bench. Team H breaks after the first horn, and is ready for the throw-in before the second horn. I administer. Second horn sounds; Team V is still huddling. I hold for a few seconds, no huddle breakage, eyeball my partner, whistle, point, hand the ball, as V is breaking the huddle, and finally hustling out of it. ("Ridiculous!" I hear from the V bench.)

H's possession comes up empty, but V is still grumbling at me on the way back down.

Me: "Coach, they were ready. You weren't!"
Coach V: "We were coming out! Come on, YOU KNOW THE RULE!"

There it is.
