Mr. JR?
Mr. JR?
Better than your usual "hey, Dickhead", I guess.....
Note that in the case play that it says "strikes the backboard so
forcefully that it cannot be ignored....". And in Snaqs' situation, he said the player
tapped the board. I think that the purpose and intent of the rule is to nail the player who wants to put on a big show. I also think that most experienced officials..... like you, Snaqs(after he thought about it) and the other posters that voted for no "T".... know the difference between a kid getting a little frustrated and the showboats showboating. It's the difference between frustration and
FRUSTRATION.
Technical fouls are always personally judgmental. And as you said above, if the calling official thought the act wasn't unsporting in nature, there's no justification in calling a "T".
