We're not sitting in the cheap seats. The post asked posters here if doing push-ups, after a slam dunk, is unsportsmanlike. If that isn't taunting, I don't know what is. If you don't think is, then that's your opinion...it's just hard for me to believe that anyone wouldn't consider that unsportsmanlike. That could definitely lead to a fight. IMHO, if we don't draw the line at that, we might as well not even have a line. Implying that we can't discuss it because D-1 refs are involved is just plain dumb. I ref some of my NFHS games with D-1, D-2, and D-3 refs. They're just people, not gods... the only difference is that they don't mind the nomadic lifestyle during the winter as much as some of the rest of us. Doesn't sound like it was a "judgment call" in the sense that it "might have been a foul, might not have been a foul." A dunk happened and push-ups followed. I think very few people who saw that would pass on a T. Maybe the assignor for that conference punishes refs who give a T, even if it's well-deserved. That would be sad.
