Hello,
As my login name applies, I am in my first year as a basketball ref. I have officiated for a few youth leagues, and for the intramural games at my college.
I had a situation in the intramural tournament that I would like to see how some of you would have handled it.
Situation: Team A is leading by more than 10 points with 3 minutes to go in the game. I have called a technical foul on B1 for innapropriate language/direct verbal attack on me. The overall attititude on team B is horrible.
Later in the game, with 30 seconds to play, team A is obviously going to win (10+ point spread). B2 is shooting free throws. B1 and B3 refuse to line up in an appropriate position. (they do this to get under my skin...) B1 again makes a direct verbal attack on me, I give him his second Technical, and he is ejected. The game has fallen apart. B3 continues his illegal position for free throws.
Thanks,
Nathan

Welcome aboard..
If B2 is shooting FT's, Team B players do not have to line up in the lane spaces. (did you mean this or were they lingering about inside the 3 point line somewhere?) Team A has the obligation of lining up in their correct spaces only(the first 2 under basket) Don't have rule book to quote here at the office. Sorry.
As far as the T's, don't take no crap, sounds like you did good.
