I was at a tournament last summer the game my first game was part of a back to back for a local club team u16. Coach was hot and looking for clarification during warmup. In the previous game the had lost by 6 his kids had been called for 7 unsportsmanlike and 1 tech.
3 - For putting and hand up and/ yelling shot at the shooter.
2 - For full front denying players with their back to the ball that the official interpreted as face guarding.
2- For blocking calls made on defenders before the ball was inbounded.
(Tech was on coach for complaining about the unsportsmanlikes.)
COach wanted to know why his kids weren't allowed to play defense. They reality was the first game officials probably called some by the book stuff that was misinterpreted (officials from all over no just guys i knew).
Though in the same tournament 2 u19 teams combined for 15 unsportsmanlikes most of those were legitimate excessive contact or breaking up the fast break.
