The ref stuck his arm out in front of him, pushed him back to the bench. Good job by him, don't want a technical foul at that point.

I didn't see this play but the rule is to only T if players/fans coming on the court interfere with play.

Is this a spoken rule or a written rule?
I saw this happen and all I could do is shake my head because this has happened all tournament long. I've seen 3 times where this has happened. One of these times it's going to interfere with a play and cost a team the game! If I was a coach and one of my players did this I would go Bob Knight on them!
