Junker wroteI've never had this situation happen yet, but I think if I know a coach is out of TO's when he requests it, I would remind him that he is out and if he still wants it, I would grant the TO and T.
Do you really believe that officials should hand out unfair advantages?
If you remind the coach and he then says forget the TO, you're screwing the other team out of the 2 FT's and possession that they had coming to them because their opposing coach wasn't doing his job properly.
Personally, I prefer to stay neutral. You know, call it both ways...two teams out there....that kinda thingy. That's just me though.🙂 Jmo, but I think that you walk a very slippery line out on the court sometimes if you try to be Mr. Nice Guy Official.
