Situation - middle school game - 43-42 visitors with 17 seconds left. We are the home team. We give the foul to put the visitor's on the line, when the ref comes over and gives the sign for a T. I ask for an explanation and this what I get - "Your assistant stood up during the play - that's a technical."
Am lost here now if u foul team B to put on the line and the ref comes over and "T" ur Assistant shouldn't team B have had more than 2 free throws.
Base on the score am assuming that the ref who gave the "T" is either not very experience at all or that Team B can't shoot free throws.
This is what I see, ur team fouls to put them on the line so he should get 2 free throws assuming ur in the double bonus + 2 more for the "T" and possesion of ball at midcourt so u would had to foul again to put them on the line and u only lost by 3 points. I have never seen a ref call "T" on an assistant when the game is that close. I was always taught to let the players decide the outcome of the game, knowing that the game is that close I don't think a head coach or an assistant would jeopardize a "T" when the game is almost over.
I'm sure that the head coach for both team was of the bench throughout the game and he did not "T" them so why should he "T" the assistant for being up too.
