I wasn't reffing, and I didn't see the game, but I have to say my first thought is that this gets a technical foul. Anyone who can comment on this?
Why should this be a technical foul? If he wants to line up backwards, I have no problem with it. It is only going to make it harder for him to rebound....and although it is unsportsmanlike, I think it is better just to ignore it.
