JRutledge Probably the same way you handled it. But I doubt I would ever give a T to the crowd for this. Peace
APG I'm not handing a technical foul here. I would of handled the play the exact same way. Get the crowd off the court and finish the .1 seconds left in the game.
Raymond Tell him b/c the crowd did not interrupt the game. The ball was dead when they rushed the court.
Mark Padgett If you did give a technical to the crowd, would they all have to sit for the final .1? 😛
refiator Mark Padgett wroteIf you did give a technical to the crowd, would they all have to sit for the final .1? :p Amen. You can't "T the crowd....... You can't "T" a bench because a fan comes onto the court. Would you "T" a team because a mad mother rushes the court because her child was fouled hard? No. The coach has no jurisdiction over this. Just about the only exception is when fans throw objects on the court...and then you need to issue a warning first.

refiator I'll rephrase...You can, but I wouldn't unless there were some really bad circumstances, and even then, after the PA announcer warns the crowd......
