During a time out my partner says he had never seen this call before and had been thinking about my call. He asks that after the ball passes through the hoop the ball becomes dead (until at the disposal of team B)... shouldn't my foul call have been a technical in that case.
Not sure if he is correct or not. Any thoughts people? Casebook ?
PS: Explaining the first call was hard enough. If we had administered at technical foul there that would have really set off coach A.

If it was hard to explain it shouldn't have been made. Once it's through hoop it has to be intentional or flagrant. Even an accidental train wreck isn't a foul. Leave it alone. If it has to be called it will be obvious to everybody in the gym and easy to explain..
