ummmmmm, in the case of the technical, the contact wasn't intentional but I deemed the movement of his elbow unnecessary because I had blown my whistle for a foul on the defender. I felt A1's actions were wreckless and the elbow to the face could have been avoided. A1 was moving his elbow in an exxagerated manner during the live-action to bring attention to the fact he was being fouled by the defenders following a rebound. My partner (2-man mechanics) should have called a foul but he didn't so I came in with a whistle. Well after my whistle A1 continued his movement with his elbow and connected to B1's jaw.
My supervisor/assignor/commissioner was in attendance and agreed with my handling of that play. |
Chuck's point was that the rules do
NOT allow you call a contact dead-ball technical foul unless the contact
IS flagrant or intentional.
NFHS rule 4-19-5(c)- "A technical foul is an intentional or flagrant
contact foul while the ball is
dead".
Your supervisor/assignor/commisioner doesn't know the rules either.
