FT Violations

Partner gestures to meet me and says, "That's a technical foul! Two shots and the ball."

Mind you the FT was not even close to over at the time of the foul.

He almost had an argument with me on the court. I was the R....I told him I'd live and die by it, and he finally dropped it. Later he tried to explain to me that it's a technical because the ball becomes dead upon release by the FT shooter. I showed him the rule and the page from the pre-season guide last year, and he still didn't believe me. I guess you can lead the horse to water but you can't make it drink.

You need to show him the rule that shows when a ball becomes dead or when a try ends
