But that's NOT what Chess Ref's higher-up said, according to Chess Ref's post. The higher-up made no reference to live ball contact in Chess Ref's post. That was my only point. I didn't want somebody to come in and see that and think, "oh, there are times in the game where I can't call a technical foul?". Of course you can, if it's an unsporting foul.
Again, sorry for confusing you with the obvious. I know what he was getting at and you know what he was getting at. But that doesn't mean that everybody will get it.
You CAN call a technical foul on anyone at anytime during the officials' jurisdiction, if it's an unsporting foul.

Lah me, Scrappy. Chess Ref was
responding to Tomegun's very
specific question about live-ball contact being a technical foul. That's what Chess Ref asked his higher-up....i.e. "if live-ball contact could be a technical foul". The higher-up's reply to that very
specific question was that you could call a technical foul on anybody at any time. Nobody ever mentioned an "unsporting foul" at any time but
YOU! Not Chess Ref and not his higher-up. That's the point I'm trying to make. Chess Ref's higher-up is wrong.
You really need to switch from decaf to a
man's coffee, like Dan. Might open your eyes.
