I had a girls varsity game the other night and A1 fouled B1 with about 20 secs to go and B up by about 10 points. Both players fell to the ground and as they got up they said a few words to each other. No, we did not call a double technical. By rule, we should have, but it made no sense in this situation and my partner was right there to get them apart.

Why didn't it make sense to call the double "T"s in that situation? Isn't this what could be called a learning opportunity for both of those players? It ain't gonna slow the game up either, because there's no FT's for the double Ts and you gotta report A1's personal foul anyway.
Just wondering- not second-guessing.

JR,
Honestly, I don't really know. I would say two things came to my mind. First, it wasn't any big deal really and my partner was on it instantly and broke them up so the whole argument lasted about 5 seconds. Also, A1 had a T earlier in the game for unsportsmanlike so I really didn't think this little argument called for her to be ejected. The game also was not a rough or heated contest, so maybe that played into it. Finally, I have some ref experience but this is still my first year calling V games so maybe I hesitate a little more than others when it comes to the T call. Right or wrong that's what I was thinking during the whole incident. Any thoughts? Thanks for asking because it makes me go back and re-assess what I was thinking during the whole thing.

Sounds like she didn't learn from the first T.
