You are absolutely correct that the technical foul by A2 makes the ball dead, and A3 then proceeded to dunk a dead ball. What A2 and A3 did is not basketball. If A3 was going in for a layup and commits a travel violation we do not penalize the dunking of the dead ball because that is not what the Rules Committee intended, plus there are Casebook Plays that cover the play to which I just refered. But A2 and A3's little stunt was meant to make a travesty of the game, just like in the game that I had the three technical fouls for the two players in the play that I posted in the Fall. [/B]

Mark,a travesty of the game for "slightly lifting" a team-mate?This play is completely different than your T-o-rama of the fall.If it was a slight lift by the losing team and happened near the end of a blow-out,I don't know whether I'd even call the first T.Two T's would certainly be over-kill in this particular situation.
