Just wanted to update with coordinators response to me. Pretty proud of my ratio of technicals. I told him the only way I'd consider coming back is if they start charging immediate fine and he sent an email to players saying enough is enough. Enjoy!
Below are the rules for player and team technicals. I emailed the manager of CIB this morning to inform him that the one player who received two technicals last night was not eligible for the first tournament game. I know you would like a fee assessed when a technical is called. I have not heard of that rule and know other metro departments do not have that rule in place. The issue with that particular rule would be collecting the money and/or teams not willing to pay it. If a team refuses to pay it, you then make them forfeit which negatively impacts the opposing team by not giving them their guaranteed game or by calling the game early.
6. If a player is tagged with one (1) technical foul in one game, that player will have to sit out one (1) minute of game time (after all technical fouls are shot) before returning to the game, including any overtime game. *Exception - dunking the ball.
7. Two (2) technical fouls in one (1) game and the player is out of that game and the next game as well.
8. Should a player accumulate four (4) technical fouls over any part of a season, they will be given a two (2) game suspension. Should a fifth (5th) technical be received after the player returns, the player will be suspended for the remainder of the current basketball season.
9. Should a team accumulate three (3) technical fouls in one (1) game, the team shall forfeit that game if they win. If a team loses, or is losing at the time, the score will remain.
10. Should a team accumulate seven (7) technical fouls over any part of a season, the team will be removed from the league at the Department's discretion.
In 240 games this season, 39 technicals have been called (16 of them by you). Of the 39 total technicals, three of those were for dunking and one for calling a time-out when they didn't have one. If you don't count the four technicals that I just listed, that averages out to one technical every sixth game. I'd like to see that number lower too but don't consider that to be substantially high or to deem all the leagues "out of control".
If you would like to discuss this further I'd be happy to meet with you, if not I understand. I'll get your final shift covered for this Sunday. I appreciate your time and doing your best job the last two seasons.
