It happened to be his player's 4th foul, and he didn't sub the kid out. When his team got the ball back after the FTs, that same player attempted a shot at the other end of the floor, missed, and then went right through an opponent trying to get to the rebound and sent the opponent right to the floor. Yeah, that was number 5 on said player. Game over for him before halftime. He actually came out for the second half in street clothes to watch the remainder of the game.

I would have just said, "Coach, we're in the bonus. I don't understand why you don't think we should be shooting. What am I missing?"

Put it on him to explain why you shouldn't be shooting.
