First question I have for you, is how can you have an unsportsmanlike conduct T on a player when there is contact? You have a dead ball, so any contact that you rule a foul is just a technical foul. Unsportsmanlike fouls would be for things having to do with conduct, not contact.

To try to answer your question that would depend on what I saw after the FTs. That is called judgment and if you feel that the action was "unsportsmanlike" than you have to take action. If you feel it was not that type of behavior, then you have nothing. I know that giving a T would likely not be my first choice in that situation. I also have never seen a kid react that way by missing FTs either. I would have to see the play in order to come to that conclusion. You were there. I am reading your story on a computer screen. Not much I can say about this one outside of speculation and assumption on my part.

Peace

RUT:

Are you saying that A1's actions are not unsportsmanlike?
