I dont think any of us like a T here. Clearly the reason for it is safety. Why not give a foul and tell the coach. I warned him twice he kept doing it. I think a T hurts your team to much so I gave a common foul. Can you please have a talk with him.

Again talking its going to prevent this when you see it every 1000 games. I doubt anyone will have to make a decision on this.

I think we kick a lot more things much worse than this. It is an interesting discussion.

I have to imagine the opposing coach would not be happy with this.

B2 was chasing A2 in the frontcourt in an end-of-game throw-in situation. In an attempt to keep A2 from receiving a pass, B2 followed A2 with both hands in front of A2's face. It was his sole method of trying to play defense. It was so obvious it had to be called.

That is when you should use that rule.
