i disagree, taunting technical fouls can be called during a live ball. (ie-coach yelling profanities)
Section 5. Direct Technical Fouls for Unsporting Player Conduct
Unsporting tactics of players include, but are not limited to, the follow-ing:
Art. 1. Disrespectfully addressing or contacting an official or gesturing in such a manner as to indicate resentment.
Art. 2. Using profanity or vulgarity; taunting, baiting or ridiculing another player or bench personnel; or pointing a finger at or making obscene gestures toward another player or bench personnel.
by rule this action can be judged as a taunt. like a player verbally assaulting a player can be issued a technical while the ball is in play.
i am not disagreeing with what you would call in a real game situation, from what you posted all decisions seem legit. [/QUOTE]
A contact foul during a live ball cannot be a technical
foul, as Tony & JR already pointed out. If you're going to
T for taunting then it has to be before the contact. If
it's before the contact then it's hard to justify a
disqualification, under the rules. If your goal is to eject
then go with the flagrant personal. It's all the same,
except for where the ball is put back into play.
