Shouldn't Team B only have given the 2 FT's for the technical foul plus the ball? The referee ruled that the tech made team foul # 7 (which it does) thus the one and one plus the tech foul free throws. Foul # 6 was a spot throw-in foul correct? The technical was the only one warranting FT's.
Did the ref get the situation wrong?

The varsity official was incorrect. This was a false multiple foul. In this case just penalize the technical foul. Wait until Jeff Smith hears about this? He'll go nuts. I thought that you New Haven guys had your act together? The good news is that the New Haven board training committee is obviously doing an excellent job when a second year official knows better than some veteran varsity officials. My compliments to you, and my compliments to your training committee.
Also, welcome to the jungle, I mean, to the Forum. It will be nice to have another Forum member from the Constitution State. I grew up in the New Haven area, and spent a lot of summer days on the beautiful beaches of Milford. You've got some great officials down there, Craig Stockel, Gary Rispoli, Tony Bagnolli, Scott Mazur, and Michael, and Anthony Gamberdella. I went to high school with Craig, and Gary. Tell them Billy Mac from Amity said hello. And, of course, you have some some great basketball down there, the SCC is a great basketball super conference, both the city schools and the teams from the suburbs.
