If you aren't familiar with the term intentional technical foul, learn it now. 
Don't let the jargon intimidate you, it simply means that there was intentional contact during a dead ball as opposed to flagrant contact. Under NFHS rules, it's administered just as any other technical foul--2 shots and the ball at the division line.
PS Unsporting technical fouls are for non-contact situations as the NFHS defines an unsporting foul as a non-contact foul. Therefore, verbal comments or inappropriate gestures would fall within this category. |
Nevada..thanks for an excellent explanation of the difference between the two, and the proper application of each. Yes, I had read the rule and case book on the two...but
"got intimidated by the terminolgy" when the
exact same situation occured in the waning seconds of a BJV game I did the other night. I blew it by just calling a foul (mind went blank in a microsec) and knowing after that it should have been a T...but not sure if it should have been intentional or flagrant. Experienced P corrected me during post-game....but your explanation made it much clearer to me.
Lesson learned by this newbie...hopefully I'll react to the situation better the next time it should occur and apply the rule/penaltied the right way.
