I was working a boys playoff game about 5-6 years ago. Still back when we worked 2-person in the first few rounds.
OT. Close game, still, about 90 seconds left. Packed gym. Great atmosphere.
Visiting defender tried to steal the ball, got the arm of the ball handler. I called a foul. The player, already moving in that direction, threw his arms up in the air and ran from the front court all the way to the other end of the floor with his arms in the air.
I called a technical foul for the reaction. 4 free throws later....
I still wonder if I should've given a bit more rope on that one, years later.
Back to this play: There's no way I'd even consider a technical foul here. I'm still confused what the official called myself.
