In the NAIA Tournament, DuJuan Brown from Oklahoma Baptist University shot and made a three point FG. The official gave the signal for the made 3-pointer, When Brown went past the official, he gave him a "high-five." The official called a technical foul which happened to be Brown's fifth. There were nine minutes left in the game. OBU won the game and are playing tonight in the championship.
How would you have responded to this situation?

Except for the technical foul, this is just an example of life imitating the movies. Remember the scene in the Billy Cyrstal movie where he plays an NBA official, and a player makes a "triple" and gives Crystal the "high five" while signaling a successful three-pointer.
