Delay of game question

see case play - 9.2.10 sit A comment.


In situations with the clock running and five or less seconds left in the game, a throw-in plane violation or interfering with the ball following a goal should be ignored if its only purpose is to stop the clock. However, if the tactic in any way interferes with the thrower’s efforts to make a throw-in, a technical foul for delay shall be called even though no previous warning had been issued. In this situation, if the official stopped the clock and issued a team warning, it would allow the team to benefit from the tactic.

I like this one too. And another reason I think leaning toward the T is the right call. Though if I were watching Dad and he called a DOG I wouldnt have an issue either. Again sometimes there are just judgements we have to make.
